Like many people, I have a to-do list. The chores I need to complete and the errands to run, like dropping off the load of dry cleaning that sits in the corner of my room, or the pile of donations that have a semi-permanent spot in the trunk of my car.
But the to-do list where I often forget to check off is to tell those around them that I love them.
I was reminded of this last night, as I watched a movie, where the plot is about how the character lives his life as though it is a sitcom. He separates from his partner, only to reunite and marry when one of them is diagnosed with cancer.
Tears ran down my face; not for the Hollywood actors, or the script, but for the reminder that we cannot wait until it's too late to remember that our life is not scripted. People will come and go, and we take for granted that our life's sitcom will be renewed for the next season.
