Ok so this weekend was the wedding of my cousin (Paul), it was Spain and was absolutely beautiful but the thing i loved was an extract, that was read during the service, and it was so lovely i decided to share it...!

Always say what you feel and do what you think. If I knew for sure that today was the last time I was ever going to see you sleeping, Id hug you tight and pray to the Lord to be the guardian of your soul.

If I knew for sure that this was the last time I was ever going to see you walk out of that door, Id give you a hug, a kiss and call you back to give you more.

If I knew for sure that this was the last time I was ever going to hear your voice, Id record each of your words to be able to listen to them again and again for ever. If I knew for sure that these were the last minutes I was ever going to see you, Id say I love you instead of assuming you already knew.

There is always a tomorrow and life gives us another chance to do things properly, but just in case I am mistaken and today is all we have left, Id like to tell you how much I love you. Tomorrow is never guaranteed for anyone, young or old. Today might be the last day youll see the ones you love.

So wait no longer, do it today, for if tomorrow never comes you are sure to lament the day you didnt take the time for a smile, a hug and that you were too busy to grant them a last wish.

Keep your loved ones close to you, whisper in their ear how much you need them; love them and treat them well, take time to tell them Im sorry, forgive me, please, thank you and all the words of love you know.

No one will remember you for your secret thoughts; Show your family and friends how important they are to you.


Extract from a letter by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
