Once in a Lifetime (57 page)

*Make your choices matter. Do what makes you happy. Tell the people you love that you love them. Forget about waiting for a rainy day. Do it now.

*Get down on your knees everyday and say thank you. Even if you dont feel grateful all the time, practise it, and one day you will appreciate all the good things. And thats one of the greatest gifts of all.

*Its never too late to stop and change the way youre going. Never. I did and look what I got you and your dad.

Talking of your Dad, when you find a love like that and its a once in a lifetime love, Hold on to him.

Im crying now, Natalie, I better stop. Star wants me downstairs because you need me. Did I tell you that? Youre downstairs with her and Im upstairs trying not to cry writing this. I cant write with your dad or he just breaks down. Hes a wonderful dad, but I guess you know that. I hope I finish this later but in case I dont get to it, I love you. Always have, always will.
