Don't Put Things Off - you just never know

While going thru some old photos, I kept seeing pictures of my mom and her dear friend.  This friend had been a part of our family my entire life.  Since my mom passed a few years ago, I thought the perfect gift to her friend on her 80th birthday would be a mini book of these memories. I knew I had to hurry as her birthday was in a month. I worked on it non-stop in my spare time for two weeks.  I got a box, signed a card and had it all addressed and ready to ship out.  My plan was to send it out in about one week so it would arrive just before her birthday. I then received a phone call from her daughter saying she had been admitted into hospice. I was at a lost as to what to do.  I asked others what I should do. Send it early in hopes she could still enjoy it, send it later for her daughters to enjoy or not send it at all.  I just did not want my intentions misunderstood.  I chose to send it out the next day and looking back can not figure out why I ever questioned it.  I received a phone call from her daughter saying she had a chance to look at it before she passed and she absolutely loved it.  Her daughters thanked me as well for the keepsake.
