Kim from Bold.Blue.Adventure tagged me for this meme, which is to sum up your life in 6 words. I could think of nothing but an unfortunate incident that had happened in my life in the past few years that has changed my thoughts and attitude towards life. You see, I had lost my mom to cancer and stroke, which everyone in the family had least expected it because she looked so healthy. This incident has taught me a lesson that life is so fragile and we should treasure it every moment we have with our loved ones. Thus, my reply to this meme is:
Live Life, Enjoy Life, Treasure Life
(Because that's how I always feel)
Here's the rules:

What a beautiful and profound memoir. Isn't it sad that it takes a tragedy for us to learn those lessons? I am sorry to hear of your loss.
I lost a dear friend about a year and a half ago, and the process of grief has shaped who I am-it seems morbid, but I realize now that my life could change so quickly. I have to do my best to enjoy my life now and love the people around me as best as I can.
Kim, those are exactly my thoughts. Life is so unpredictable, huh?!
What a beautiful memoir, Melody! I'm so very sorry that it was a lesson learned in such a tragic, heart-breaking way. (((Hugs)))
Debi, thanks for the hugs! :)
I'm very sorry for your loss, Melody :(
That is a precious lesson, though, and it's something I try to always keep in mind.
I'm so sorry that your mother passed away so tragically, Melody. That would indeed make me treasure life because we have no idea how much time we have left. Thanks for tagging me and I will have to think about a good answer. It will not be as meaningful as yours, I am sure.
Prayers for both you and your mom. Lovely memoir, so glad you played:)
Ah Melody I am sending you some cyber-hugs. When I lost my dad to cancer, my whole view of life changed too. What I strive for every day is to not let little things get to me and try to make every day count. Sounds like we are on the same wavelength :)
Oh and thank you for the tag.
Thanks everyone, for your kind comments and cyber hugs!!! I really appreciate it. :D
