    Tell people in your life what they mean to you and that you love them.
    Often and always, you never know how much time you have together.

    Call your mom, dad, your grandparents, spend time with your kids, with your nieces and nephew. Tell them all, that you are proud of them or grateful for them and that you love them.

    We always think we have all the time in the world to spend with family and people we love. But if one of their lives is cut short, you might regret it forever!

      Also, after breaking with my parents, and telling my kids I love them, I realized how very rare it was for my father to tell me he loves me. So, tell people what they mean to you and that you love them because it might not seem like much at the moment, but it means a lot in the long run.

      Some people can’t do that because their parents will use that against them. They love their parents but need to maintain a certain emotional distance so they don’t leverage that for emotional blackmail.

        Of course who you tell is not universally the same. Just tell the people that are important to you. It doesn’t matter if that is your biological family or your chosen one.
