One day I was talking to one of my best friends and she talked about her grandma and the impact she had on her life. That’s the person that really had her understand how to show love. Her grandma died recently but she had given her so much and showed her that she cared and always would. The fact that she missed the funeral hurt but she was always there for her grandma. She always shows her how much she loved her. That’s when I said to her that shows you as a person. The one that is willing to do all they can for people that they love.
I can’t understand why persons wait until their “loved one” dies then they are now willing to show the love. Why not show the love when the person is alive and kicking and can appreciate it? As my nephew-son would say give them the flowers when they are still alive and can smell them. The crying at the funeral is all well and good but were you there for them? Did you show them how much you cared, if you cared any at all? Interesting questions. What do you think? Can you answer?
You know it’s when persons die that many realize that they took them for granted. In their minds the persons would always be there. Do remember, tomorrow is promised to no one so show and say that you love the person when you have them. Again I will say show the love now not when they are gone. Is it that we take persons for granted just too often and then it hurts us when they are taken by the Almighty? Don’t get me wrong if the person(s) are not close to your heart then I’m not going to tell you to spend all your time with them. There are some persons that I reach out to all the time as I have to let them know how I feel, others, not so much.
You know it takes nothing to pick up the phone and call or send a message. If you can’t see them face to face that fine. Just saying hello can make a difference in someone’s life. Believe me it’s true. I never got this until one day I walked pass someone and just smiled and said good morning. The reaction of the person was eye opening. He said thank you for making my day. He told me he was having a bad day so far but me just smiling and saying good morning turned his day around. Now imagine if you can do that to a stranger what could you do to a “loved one”? You don’t have to call or message daily but just reach out every now and again to say. Thank you for being here.
How do you say thank you for being there? I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife.

Always a good reminder Andrea .. I would not go as far as saying ‘take things for granted’ but with the demands, problems and chaos that surround us just keeping our head above water is a challenge in itself
We are so consumed we forget just how blessed we are and yes lose sight of what Is really important … life family friends
Find time to reach out and show continuously our love and appreciation for whom we care about and hold so dear in our hearts should be priority
Thanks again
It’s important to show the love and appreciation. Just reach out every now and again and say hi. We really are blessed.
