How many times have we said to ourselves， "Oh，I'll do that tomorrow." Sometimes tomorrow never comes and we find ourselves saying， "Oh，I wish I hadn't put that off."
   Our family was friends with Betty for many years.Over the years，we shared phone calls，birthday cards，and much more.Every year，Betty sent our youngest son Brandon a birthday card with five dollars in it.She did this until he graduated from high school.
   One year，not long after her birthday，I called to see how she was and ask her if she did anything special for her birthday.I was surprised when Betty didn't answer the phone.Instead，her daughter Carol did.Carol told me that her mom was ill and had gone dowmhill fast.She was in hospice care.Carol gave the phone to Betty.I talked to her and let her know that we loved her.
   As soon as I got off the phone，I sent a text to Brandon and let him know Betty wasn't doing well.Brandon stopped what he was doing and sent flowers to Betty.You can imagine how proud I was of Brandon when Carol called the next day.She told me that Betty loved the flowers very much.Just a few days later，Betty died.
