Too often we tell people how much they meant to us after they're gone.
Wouldn't it be nicer if they heard it while they were still around to laugh, smile, or tease us about getting sentimental?
Friendships deserve celebrating before the memorial service.
Tell one old friend exactly why you appreciate them.
Not because it's their birthday.
Not because they're ill.
Just because today seemed like a good day. Kind words are far more meaningful when the person can hear them.
