If I had one more day:
I'd work out with the girlfriends.
I'd drink coffee and compete with the husband on the crossword puzzle.
I'd turn off the alarm clock and snuggle up.
I'd talk to my mother ten times and my father once or twice. (He's not as talkative.)
I'd do at least one thing to help the oldies.
I'd listen to my favorite music.
I'd put peanut butter in the maniac dog's Kong and crack up while she digs it out.
I'd call or email my girlfriends and my aunts.
I'd fall on my knees in prayers of gratitude.
I'd touch photos of the children and send them silent wishes.
I'd curl up with the husband after listening to him play the piano.
Oh wait, I do all of this almost every day.
Mitch Albrom's book, For One More Day, was the topic of the show. It's about a man who receives the gift of one more day with his deceased mother. They've made it into a television movie.
So, I started to think about this. If I had to pick one person who is no longer with us and I received the gift of one more day, who would I choose?
I'd love one more day with any and all of my grandparents.
I'd love one more day with my Uncle Ken.
I'd love one more day with all the pets I've lost.
I've got to be honest. I want one more day with my friend, Patsy.
Who would you choose?

Boy, do I know you! As I read this, I am thinking, hello/ you do this everyday or close to it. Then I read you say that. As I read further down, I am thinking, no you are okay with the family that have past, and even the pets, although, Holly will always be tough. I am thinking PATSY!!! I know Sher would want one more day with Patsy. And there it was! I don't even have to answer who I would chose, you already know.
