George Carlin, a renowned comedian known for his edgy style of comedy, died in 2008. After the death of his wife earlier, Carlin wrote a touching message about cherishing loved ones while you have them. The message encourages spending quality time with family, giving warm hugs and embraces, saying "I love you" sincerely, and making the most of life's precious moments that take your breath away.

2. /16 Remember: spend some time with your loved ones,

3. /16 because they are not going to be around forever.

4. /16 Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you,

5. /16 because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

6. /16 Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment, for someday that person will not be there again.

7. /16 Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.

8. /16 A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

9. /16 Give time to love, give time to speak!

10. /16 And give time to share

11. /16 the precious thoughts in your mind.

12. /16 AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

13. /16 Life is not measured

14. /16 by the number of breaths we take,

15. /16 but by the moments

16. /16 that take our breath away.

17. /16 And if you don't like what I’ve said here.... Who cares? George Carlin
