I know it sounds cliche and one of those things you hear all the time but bear with me.
There’s Always Tomorrow
That’s what we think. Whether we admit it or not, the reason we don’t go out of our way to tell our friends and loved ones how much we care about them is because deep down we believe they’ll always be time later. We make up other excuses but these are just a smoke screen for thinking we’ve got all the time in the world.
My wife and I found out last Sunday that we’ll never have the chance to tell our niece how much we love her again. Her life was taken and so was any chance we had to see or speak with her ever again.
She has been laid to rest. I want to take this opportunity to urge you to make that call or visit.
You never know when it will be the last time.
Yes, you do hear this all the time. I hope this time you don’t hesitate to act.
I'm very sorry for your loss.. I know all to well what's it's like to lose loved ones with both my parents passing away before I was 14.
We should never take a day or even an hour for granted and do as you said, always show the love….
Jake,
Thanks for your kind words.
Credit goes to you for persevering from your early traumatic losses
as well.
I hope people really take this to heart.

I'm sorry for your loss Jeff. You are so right. Thanks for thinking of us during this sad time.
Hi Jan,
Thanks for your concern.
I hope this post doesn't fall on deaf ears. For humans, it's very
hard for us to face the fact that we're only here for a limited time
on this planet. So taking any action that acknowledges this fact is
uncomfortable for us.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

sorry for your loss. i wish some one would have cared enough to say this to me befor the passing of my son. its been 10 years and i still dont know if he knew i truly loved him i still ? if i loved him enough. now i tell my other kids and my other half all the time words hugs even when iam upset/disapointed i tell them i still love them no matter what
and i know they love me and for me i am blessed that if tomarrow dosent come my children and other half will know they loved me enough this dosent stop me from countinuing to give my love freely. may your niece be free of what ever pain she sufferd this life as well as you in yours trusting and know you loved her enough that you are loved enough. NO DEAF EARS HERE THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER TO LOVE THOSES AROUND US FREELY.
Thank you for your kind words and I too am sorry for your loss.
Sometimes we need more than a nudge for us to remember to take stock
of what's important to us and to let them know.
I don't know the exact situation but please don't torture yourself
about how much your son knew you loved him. The fact that you're
worried about him knowing tells me that he was probably more aware of
it than you realized.
Thanks again for sharing and feel free to stop by and contact me again.
