Some things are worth saying.
There are people in our lives
who probably know
we love them.
Probably.
Sometimes probably isn’t quite good enough.
Some things we assume people know. Some things they deserve to hear.
Maybe there is someone you love, admire, appreciate, miss, owe, forgive, understand differently now, or simply see more clearly than you once did.
What do they deserve to hear from you?
You do not need me to do that.
Write a note. Make a phone call. Send a text. Say it badly if necessary. Just say it.
Twelve things worth saying
1.Who believed in you before there was much evidence that they should?
2.Who taught you something years after they thought their teaching was finished?
3.Whose parenting has taught you something about love?
4.Who did something small for you that you have remembered for years?
5.Who has a quality you deeply admire but have never actually named to them?
6.Who made you feel safe at a time when you needed it?
7.Whose example changed the way you treat other people?
8.Who do you understand differently now than you did when you were younger?
9.Who deserves to know that something they did mattered more than they realized?
10.Who should hear that you noticed?
11.Who would be surprised to learn how important they have been in your life?
