A letter to Shannah written with love from Tara Cifizzari
If Only I Knew
We live in an uncertain world. When we leave home in the morning, we assume we will return in the evening. When we say “good-bye” to loved ones, we take it for granted we will see them again. We presume they know we love them, so we seldom say the words. Unfortunately, we all fail to consider the mortal reality that this may not be the case…until it’s too late. Tomorrow does not always come. Think about it: we never know when life will be dramatically changed, or have a loved one permanently taken away. Don’t allow the regrets of “If Only I Knew” to be the final marker of your life! Be swift to love, take the time to make someone feel special, freely give hugs and kisses and may “I Love You” be often upon your lips.
- If Only I Knew…I could never share another day with you, I would make the most of every second.
- If Only I Knew…I was about to lose your smile, I would thank you for all the joy you have brought into my life.
- If Only I Knew…that I was caught up in the trap of living for tomorrow and a future that existed only in my imagination, I would have slowed my pace, drawn stronger boundaries around my life, and taken more time for the people I love.
- “Shannah, If Only I Knew…I would never hear your voice again, I would cherish your every word with all my heart. My only wish is, myself and everyone else didn’t have to say goodbye to you so soon. You’ll forever live on in our hearts and memories, Rest In Peace. We Love You!”
Love Always, Tara Cifizzari
