Folks, if you have relatives alive, call them. Call your Grandmother, GrandFather, mother, Father, Sister, Brother, etc. today. don't put it off. you will be sorry if you don't and you could end up with guilt for life. I have that, guilt, and I know it will never leave me. early this mornin' Karen Louise Kruger Stevens age 61, my grandmother on my Ma's side, passed on into Glory. I loved my Grandmother very much. used to call her Nan, short for Nana. I talked to her last 'round Christmas time 'bout times past when we were together and we wished we could be there and how we would see them this summer. before that I spoke to her in November. I used a callin' card that she had given me when I started college in '04. it still had 15 min on it and I used it to call her. it thrilled her that I did call so she sent me another callin' card at Christmas so I could call her again anytime anywhere. I got 'busy' I told my self I would call when I got a chance, I told myself after school lets out and I have more free time, i told myself after i get this work done I'll call, I told myself after sumer school is out you are goin' to visit anyway so you'll talk to her then . . . I'm too late. I put it off and put it off and now, this side of glory, I'll never speak to her again. I lost somethin' great, time to talk with Nan, and I missed givin' what she wanted most, to know we cared enough to take time to talk with her and see how she was doin'.
 
so I urge, no beg y'all to call before its too late, call for the joy it will give them, call for wisdom it can give you, call before you can't call and are left with the knowledge that you could have call and should have called.
