I stood by her graveside and wished I could turn back time.
Not because there was something I needed from her.
But because there were so many things I had wanted to tell her.
I wanted to tell her that I appreciated her.
That I noticed every time she checked on me.
That her presence meant more to me than I ever said.
That some of the moments we shared were memories I would carry for the rest of my life.
But I kept thinking there would be another day.
Another conversation.
Another opportunity to say, "I love you."
There wasn't.
And standing there, with all those words trapped inside me, I realized something painful:
Sometimes, the words we think we have time to say become the words we wish we had said.
So please...Tell people.
Tell your friend you appreciate them.
Tell your parents you love them.
Tell someone when they've made your life better.
Don't wait until you're standing beside their grave, wishing they could hear you.
Give people their flowers while they're still here to receive them. ๐ค
