The Delivery

The delivery

A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered.

Upon their arrival, the doctor said that the hospital was testing an amazing new high-tech machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's Father.

He asked if they were interested.
Both said they were very much in favor of it.

The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced Before.

But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch.

The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer.
The husband was still feeling fine.

The doctor then checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing.

At this point they decided to try for 50%.

The husband continued to feel quite well.

Since the pain transfer was obviously helping the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.

The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain and the husband had experienced none. She and her husband were ecstatic.

When they got home they found the mailman dead on the porch.

Just a thought

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore." No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."

So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage ..... and old cars, children with bad report cards, dogs with
bad hips, family and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it ...... because we are worth it..

Some things we keep -- like a friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important.
We only have one.

We only have one mom, one dad, one unique brother or sister or friend. I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.


Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, *if you feel that way.*

Suppose one morning you never wake up. Do all your friends know you love them?

I was thinking....I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

Let every one of your friends and family know you love them. Even if you think they
don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.

And just in case GOD calls me home . . . here you go.

I LOVE YA !
:-)

Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
