IF I JUST HAD ONE DAY................

So I have been thinking about this all week.  What if I only had a day left?  How would I spend it?  So many things came to mind.
 1.   I would have one more conversation with Grannie.  Oh how I miss her smile, her love, her hugs.  Dang, I miss everything about her!!
 2.   I would spend time with my mother-in-law, just talking!  I miss our talks.
 3.   I would go see my Grandma.  Just one more time I would like to see her face and tell her I love her. She is 89 now.
 4.   I would spend the afternoon with my friend Lucille.  Oh how I miss our late night phone conversations.  What a great friend.  (She is the same age as my Grandma).  
 5.   I would sit outside with Terry and laugh about the boys.  Oh we had some good laughs.  I wish I could hear his voice again.
 6.   I would have lunch with my friend Arlelle.  She has been a blessing in my life for over 16 years.  Why do we always say one day we will get together but never make the time for it?
 7.   Time with my friend Judy would be nice.  Just sharing pictures of our beautiful grand babies.  I hardly ever see Judy but I know she is there for me always.  
 8.   Would I go to the beach (Morro Bay) with my boys and watch them play?  Oh yes I would!!  Just me and them and the water and all of God's creation.  
 9.   I do believe I would spend some time with my sweet friend Linda Bell.  Her smile just makes me smile.  And she loves me just the way I am.
10.  I would (if I could) have one more day with my Grandpa Schnaubelt.  He loved me so much and I knew it.  Maybe we could have one more breakfast together and he could make me strawberry cream waffles.  Maybe we could have lunch at the Chinese buffet!
11.  Or maybe I could have my Grandma back for a day.  I wish I could hear her giggle.  
12.  Could I have one more Thursday night with my sweet friend Nancy?  I want her to tell me one more time how Jesus really, really loves me.  
13.  Maybe I could go to El Paso and see my precious friends Dodie and Bea.  I miss them very much.  Will I ever see them again?  Just one afternoon visiting and laughing with them sounds good.
14.  Chines buffet for lunch with Katherine.  Yeah!  So thankful we met through hockey.
15.  Time with Dawn-Marie....even if it is at a hockey game!!  So blessed our paths crossed through hockey!!
16.  Just one party for all my friends.  Just relaxing and visiting.  Life always seems too rushed for that.  Susan Counts, Tammy O'Neal, Helen Shanafelt, Priscilla Hernandez, Sharie Morris and many, many more!!
17.  How about a CBS get together?  Libby, Linda F., Sandy P., Linda Bell, Arlelle, Judy,  Sue M., Judy, Laura K., Dinah and Robyn.  How about it Laura Gillis and Dana Dickens and all the ones who were there for the boys?
18.  A whole afternoon with my friend Yvonne Castillo.  One day we will get together.  One day.  How many years will we keep saying that?
19.  Katherine Jacobs, can we talk?  Oh how I have missed you over the years.
20.  I would take Cooper and just enjoy every single minute with him.  Just taking all of him in and seeing things through his eyes.  
21.  I would spend time with Layla and find ways to make her laugh.  I love her giggle.  It makes me smile.
22.  One more time in Juarez.  I want to bless the people there one more time.  I miss my friends there so much!
23.  I would make sure to thank Steve C., Willie, Mike H., Brad H., Steve W., and Drew W.   and Paul B. for investing in my boys.  And that would just be a start.  So many others!
24.  Run more trip to Juarez with Brad Hixon.  Oh how my life has changed because of those trips.
25.  Why didn't I spend one more time in KidStuf last year?  Could I have that back for one Sunday?  I want to see Mrs. F.   I want to hear Jill's voice one more time.
25.  I would take a ride around Marfa with Sean.  Just me and him.  When was the last time it was just me and him?
26.  I would take all my boys to an ice rink and watch them play hockey.  And watch them and watch them and....   
27.  One long overdue talk with Randi.  No interruptions!!  Yes, please just one.  Why do we put things off?
28.  Misty Lawrence!!  This would be the day to go visit.  Just a relaxed day.  Those few visits we have had have been so fun.  
29.  One afternoon with my friend Gwyn.  Just one. Laughter is good for the soul!
30.  I would have all my kids together and take lots of pictures!  I know they love each other but why don't we make time to be together?
31.  I would get Cooper and Layla and watch them with their PaPa.  He loves them so much and I love seeing the look on his face when he is with them.  Priceless!
32.  Pray with Willie!  That would be a must!  
33.  Could I have my friend Patsy back for the day?  What a breath of fresh air she was in my life!!  Just to hear her laugh again would be a blessing.


Oh I know there are so many more things I would do.  Just too tired to think right now. Guess I will post more later.......
So thankful for all the people God has put in my life.  So thankful HE has given me one more day.  Looks like I have a lot to do now doesn't it?
