Don’t Wait

Monday I will travel to my native Minnesota to attend a funeral of a dear friend.  Just a few weeks ago I wrote her a letter to tell her what she meant to me and my family.  It was one of those things you get an impulse for and know you need to do it.  I believe now, that God knew the timing was right.  Writing is a good way to gather your thoughts, and put into words things you might not say over the phone or face to face.  Too often tears get in the way and you don’t complete your message. 

Just wanted to say today – if you have some kind words to share with someone – don’t wait.

    Hi Michelle. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Recently I too lost a dear friend and he has been in my thoughts so much recently.
    I have a take on an old saying. I believe that things don’t go without saying and that it is better to regret the things that you did rathe than those that you didn’t.
    I hope the service gives you comfort.
    Kind regards ans love – Alison

    Michelle, I haven’t posted because our internet is so sketchy right now. But I need to! I too have lost two someones very important to me, I did not have the chance to say goodbye. I lost my Mom when I was six, I didn’t understand what I would be missing my whole life. I do now. I lost my first husband when I was 18, he left for work early in the morning, I didn’t get to say goodbye to him. I really regret not being able to let both of them know just how much I loved them and how much I would miss them in my life. I wish I had been older, more mature so I could know then what I know now and that is that I would always have voids in my life but I could avoid it with other’s that I love. I’ve healed but still feel as though someone would always be missing in my life. So now, I tell my husband and two boys, everyday how much I love them (I tell them several times a day). I know Tyler gets tired of me saying it when he walks out the door but you never know if they will walk back in. I’m so glad you were able to tell your friend how you felt. We are reminded everyday that life is too short, tell those you love how you feel right NOW, while they are hear to appreciate your love. I am so sorry for your loss, I’m just so happy though that your friend knows how much she is loved.
