I would tell my parents that I loved them, and that I was proud to be their daughter. I would tell my children that they made my life worth living, and that I loved them more than I loved life itself, and that I was more proud of them than anything else in my entire life. I would tell a certain someone else that I still thought I was the luckiest girl in the world to have met him, and that he made me happy.
Then I would take my kids to the park, or the beach, I would play with them and my dogs, I would make a meal together, something that we all made and shared together, and just enjoy their company. I would also write a letter to each of my children telling them that they could be anything they want, and reminding them to live life. I would spend every second of that day making them smile so that the last memory they had of me was happiness.
It's a sad subject to think about though, and I hope it never comes to that. And for the record - aside from my parents knowing I am proud to be their daughter, everything else....well, I tell my children every day everything I have said here, and I try to make sure others know it as well. You never know when you'll get hit by a bus, so don't wait to tell someone you love them is my philosophy.
