Maria Chapman (Steven's Curtis Chapman's wife) in speaking about what she would have done differently if she had known they would lose their daughter Maria at so young an age said the following:
"Regretfully, I would have lived much differently. I would have purposely hugged and kissed more. I would have tried to memorize and lock away in my heart certain smells and smiles. I would have colored more and worked less. I would have laughed more and fussed less. Bedtime wouldn’t have become a chore to check off the list of things to get done. Instead it would have been more of an opportunity to listen about the day and offer whatever words were needed. The swimming pool wouldn’t have been too cold to swim in. The flowers in the garden would have all been picked, and definitely more ice cream would have been consumed!"
What am I doing with the days that we have....how am I living while I have today?
