ifall 0 #1 August 1, 2006 Just how much the people in your life mean to you. You never know when they will be gone and you won't get that chance again. I try to never part ways with someone on a sour note. I also try to show my family and friends on a regular basis through actions and words how much they mean to me. I've just been thinking about this and wanted to share it because of all the incidents I've been reading. On top of that my best friend's cousin, who was only 20, died in his sleep a couple nights ago and I found out about it yesterday. No parent should have to bury thier child.

Sweetness 0 #3 August 1, 2006 Yeah, I try to do that too. The thing is that most people react like 'hu, what's gotten into her ?' Most people don't act according to the "always let them know"-thing, so they can react kind of strange, like I'm some emotional wimp (which I am actually ... ) "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRSKY71 0 #4 August 1, 2006 First of all, I offer my condolences to your friend for his/her loss. It is a terrible thing for someone to die so young. I do try to let people I love that I do love them. I can be a royal pain the the a** but I hope I am clear in showing them that I do love them very much!

normiss 897 #5 August 1, 2006 i missed this one opportunity...when I got out of the Navy I decided to bypass parents on the way across country - I was riding a motorcycle and there was this huge storm..."ehh...I'll come up and see them next month!" Dad died the very next day...we never got that last beer. ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE YOU LOVE THEM!!! might be the last chance - and you will regret it if it is - take my word for it!

selbbub78 0 #6 August 1, 2006 I'm sorry to hear about your friend's cousin. Deepest sympathy goes out to you guys. And telling people what they always think... Ya in theory that's a good idea. As others have already stated, you never know how they will react. I can remember about 1 year before my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he told me all this stuff. I wondered what had gotten into him and even was curious (although I didn't say it to him, i don't think) if he was on drugs or something, because it was way out of context for him to act the way he did. To this day, I still wonder if he just knew he was dying and wanted to make sure that I knew what he thought. It's sometimes hard (most of the time for me) to express what you feel and how others are going to react. You're absolutly right that you don't want to leave on bad terms. You never know...
