"I know easier said than done." Molly thought about how to say her thoughts but she'd always been a straight shooter so she just said it. "I just don't want you to have regrets focusing on what could be and wish it will be rather than what is. I know this is a cliche but life really is short and no one knows what's going to happen. Even psychics see possibilities. If I could have two months with someone now versus five years of maybe in the future, I'd take two months now."

Her words rang with truth from her experience with Harry at the Inn. Her smile was sad, "because with my luck, I'd choose five years in the future and get hit by a train the next day and wind up with neither."

Another roundabout way of saying life is short, grab the happiness you have now.

"Okay Molly life lesson is over, I swear. I just wish someone had told me that when I was your age." She snickered, "not that I would have listened and it wasn't that long ago, I'm only 22."
