My eyes have been opened...

I hate that we couldn't see my cousins today. I really wanted to see them, considering we don't come down to Florida but MAYBE once a year. When I called my cousins to ask if we could come see them, they said no because they have homework and laundry to do... I don't think homework and laundry is enough of an excuse for us not to see family when we are here for such a short time. I do look forward to seeing my cousins in June when my other cousin gets married... But this death with Teri has really opened my eyes to taking advantage of every opportunity I have to see my family. What if something happens and them and my counsins aren't here in June?? We aren't guaranteed tomorrow... I haven't seen these cousins in 3 years and I really was wanting to just see them at least long enough to hug them and tell them "I love you." I'm not trying to throw a guilt trip at them, I emailed them online and tried to explain where I'm coming from so they can understand where I'm coming from. I'm really upset that we couldn't come see my cousins, when there was NO excuse not to. It REALLY irritates me!!! We are really and truly NOT guaranteed tomorrow... we don't know what will happen. JUNE was when I THOUGHT I would see Teri again... And we all see how great that turned out... It made me cry because I don't know if I will see them in June... God's Will always prevails... We never know what the future holds. Ugh.
