I read about this last night and found it quite moving:
The poignant message was written in his own blood by a man who thought he was dying in Wednesday's deadly California train wreck: "I ♥ my kids. I ♥ Leslie."

The firefighter who found the man wedged in mangled wreckage choked up when he recounted the testament of love, finger-painted in blood that looked like it was running dry near the end.

This morning I learned that the man survived the wreck. I also found a picture of his message to his family:

Again, I'm incredibly moved how the final act of so many is to communicate their love to their loved ones. Excuse me...I think I need to go hug my family. You never know how many more opportunities you have.
