Who Says Men Don't Remember Anniversaries
   
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front him. He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.

"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?"

The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and
you were only 17?" he asks solemnly.

The wife is touched thinking her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do," she replies.

The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily. "Do you remember when
you father caught us in the back seat of my car?"

"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues... "Do you remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years".
"I remember that too", she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says... "I would have gotten out today!"

The first day of school our professor
  introduced himself and challenged us to get
  to know someone we didn't already know. I
  stood up to look around when a gentle hand
  touched my shoulder.

     I turned a round to find a wrinkled,
  little old lady beaming up at me with a smile
  that lit up her entire being.

     She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.
     I'm 87 years old. Can I give you
  a hug?"

     I laughed and enthusiastically responded,
  "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant
  squeeze.

     "Why are you in college at such a young,
  innocent age?" I asked.

     She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a
  rich husband, get married, and have a couple
  of kids..."

     "No seriously," I asked. I was curious
  what may have motivated her to be taking on
  this challenge at her age.

     "I always dreamed of having a college
  education and now I'm getting one!" she told
  me.

     After class we walked to the student union
  building and shared a chocolate milkshake.

     We became instant friends. Every day for
  the next 3 months we would leave class
  together and talk nonstop. I was always
  mesmerized listening to this "time machine"
  as she shared her wisdom and experience with
  me.

     Over the course of the year, Rose became a
  campus icon and she easily made friends
  wherever she went.

     She loved to dress up and she revealed in
  the attention bestowed upon her from the
  other students. She was living it up.

     At the end of the semester we invited Rose
  to speak at our football banquet.

     I'll never forget what she taught us. She
  was introduced and stepped up to the podium.
  As she began to deliver her prepared speech,
  she dropped her three by 5 cards on the
  floor.

     Frustrated and a little embarrassed she
  leaned into the microphone and simply said,
  "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for
  Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never
  get my speech back in order so let me just tell you
  what I know."

     As we laughed she cleared her throat and
  began, "We do not stop playing because we are
  old; we grow old because we stop playing.

     There are only 4 secrets to staying
  young, being happy, and achieving success.
 
     You have to laugh and find humor every day.
 
     You've got to have a dream.

     When you lose your dreams, you die.

     We have so many people walking around who
  are dead and don't even know it!

     There is a huge difference between growing
  older and growing up.

     If you are 19 years old and lie in
  bed for one full year and don't do one
  productive thing, you will turn 20 years
  old. If I am 87 years old and stay
  in bed for a year and never do anything I
  will turn 88.

     Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take
  any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up
  by always finding opportunity in change. Have
  no regrets.

     The elderly usually don't have regrets for
  what we did, but rather for things we did not
  do. The only people who fear death are those
  with regrets."

     She concluded her speech by courageously
  singing "The Rose."

     She challenged each of us to study the
  lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

     At the year's end Rose finished the
  college degree she had begun all those years
  ago.

     One week after graduation Rose died
  peacefully in her sleep.

     Over 2.000 college students
  attended her funeral in tribute to the
  wonderful woman who taught by example that
  it's never too late to be all you can
  possibly be.

     When you finish reading this, please send
  this peaceful word of advice to your friends
  and family, they'll really enjoy it!

     These words have been passed along in
  loving memory of ROSE.

     REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
  GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

     We make a Living by what we get, We make a
  Life by what we give.

There once was a boy with a very bad character. His father
gave him a box of spikes and told him to hammer one into the
garden fence every time he lost his patience and got into an
argument with someone.

  The first day the boy hammered 37 spikes into the fence.
Over the next few weeks he began learning to control himself,
and the number of spikes he had to hammer diminished day by
day. He had discovered that exercising self control was a
lot easier than hammering spikes.

  Finally the day arrived when the boy didn't hammer any spikes
into the fence.

  He went to see his father and told him that he hadn't had to
nail any spikes that day at all.

  His father told him to pull a spike out of the fence every
day he didn't lose temper.

  Days passed, and finally the boy was able to inform his father
that all the spikes had been removed. The father walked with his
son over to the fence and said: "My son, you have done well,
but look at all the holes in the fence. It will never be the
same as it was before.

  "When you fight with someone and say terrible things, you
create wounds just like these holes. You can stick a knife into
someone and then pull it out, but the scar will always be there.
No matter how many times you say you're sorry, the scar will
remain."

  A wound caused by words is as bad as a physical wound. Friends
are like precious jewels, they make you smile, they encourage you,
they're there to help you and listen to you when you're in need.
They offer you support, and open their hearts to you.

  Show all your friends how important they are to you
by sending them this letter. Also send it back to the
person you got it from. That way, when you get it back
you'll know you have a circle of friends.
