A person often does not appreciate someone or something until they are gone. Unfortunately even if someone were to tell one this before hand it would not help. One often does not understand some one's contribution to one's life until you cannot speak to them anymore. I would say appreciate everyone when they are in your life because life is finite but unfortunately one does not really understand this concept until one is forced to experience loss. Maybe that's a good thing though. If one lived with a dark foreboding feeling all of the time it would be too depressing to get out of bed.

Another thing you don't appreciate while you have it is your health and comfort. I've lost count of the number of people I've met who whinge about their chronic pain but when you look back on their lives, did they ever appreciate what they had when they had it?
You're a woman of few words. But they're profound and well chosen.
thanks
