Kerry’s Last Gift
My boss sent me a message today about her friend, Mia. Mia and her twin daughters are going to be on the Oprah segment titled “One More Day” on Wednesday, and of course I’m totally going to TiVo it. Well, I won’t TiVo it, because I don’t have TiVo . . . but I’ll beg a friend to do it for me
Here is the message from my boss.
“Here’s an Oprah you won’t want to miss…our friend Mia and her twin daughters, Kerry and Skylar, will be on Oprah tomorrow. Mia lost her husband, Kerry, to melanoma almost 5 years ago. Two years after he died, she gave birth to Kerry’s daughters (obviously through artificial insemination). Mia was a champion for Kerry, who made friends with everyone he encountered in life. This is a story of love and human sacrifice and determination. It’s part of a show they’re titling “How would you spend one more day with someone you loved?” ”

How WOULD you spend one more day with someone you loved?















Wow! Powerful stuff. What a nice reminder that each day should be spent like it is the last day with loved ones. Because while we always say there is tomorrow…what if there isn’t? Did we make the right choice between playing that silly game with the kids or getting work done? Did we give hubby that last kiss or hug instead of nagging about what he didn’t do? Some serious stuff the think about. I know I fail miserably at this task!
I don’t normally watch Oprah, but I just may have to check it out tomorrow.
