Some of << this you'll understand all too well and other parts you << may not have experienced yet, but I think it's good << advice no matter what point you're at in your life. << << Erma's Angel << < < < << < < < I would have talked less and << < < < listened more. << < < < << < < < I would have invited friends over to << < < < dinner even if the carpet was << < < < stained and the sofa faded. << < < < << < < < I would have eaten the popcorn in << < < < the "GOOD" living room and << < < < worried much less about the dirt << < < < when someone wanted to light a fire << < < < in the fireplace. << < < < << < < < I would have taken the time to << < < < listen to my grandfather ramble << < < < about his youth. << < < < << < < < I would never have insisted the car << < < < windows be rolled up on a << < < < summer day because my hair had just << < < < been teased and sprayed. << < < < << < < < I would have burned the pink candle << < < < sculpted like a rose before it << < < < melted in storage. << < < < << < < < I would have sat on the lawn with my << < < < children and not worried << < < < about grass stains. << < < < << < < < I would have cried and laughed less << < < < while watching television and << < < < more while watching life. << < < < << < < < I would have gone to bed when I was << < < < sick instead of pretending the << < < < earth would go into a holding << < < < pattern if I weren't there for the day. << < < < << < < < I would never have bought anything << < < < just because it was practical, << < < < wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed << < < < to last a lifetime. << < < < << < < < Instead of wishing away nine months << < < < of pregnancy, I'd have << < < < cherished every moment realizing << < < < that the wonderment growing inside << < < < me was the only chance in life to << < < < assist God in a miracle. << < < < << < < < When my kids kissed me impetuously, << < < < I would never have said, << < < < "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." << < < < << < < < There would have been more "I love you's" << < < < and more "I'm sorry's" << < < < ....but mostly, given another shot << < < < at life, I would seize every << < < < minute.....look at it and really see << < < < it ... live it ... and never give it back. << < < < << < < < ~~ In honor of women's history month << < < < and in memory of Erma Bombeck << < < < who lost her fight with cancer. << < < < Here is an angel sent to watch over you ... << < < < << < < < * (\ *** /) * << < < < ** ( \(_)/ ) ** << < < < * (_/ \_) * << < < < ** /___\ ** << < < < << < < < Pass this on to five women that you << < < < want watched over. If you don't << < < < know five women to pass this on to, << < < < one will do just fine. << < < < << <<__________________________________________________ << << << << << << << << << << << << < <
