Tell

Tell the people you love exactly how you feel. As beautiful as the words are, don't rely on "I love you" being enough. 

Tell your children that they are your world, that you'll hold their hand no matter what.  Tell them they're safe and wanted and treasured. 

Tell your spouse or love of your life that he or she is your "forever," the best thing that ever happened to you.  Tell her she's beautiful, inside and out. Tell him you're proud to be at his side. 

Tell your parents "thank you." Make sure they know you understand and appreciate their sacrifices.  Tell them how they've shaped you into the person you are. 

Hug your brothers.  Laugh with you sisters.  Forgive them and ask forgiveness, if need be.  

Your family, your friends, those who fill space in your heart--tell them so.  

This doesn't come easily for all, but speak your love to those you cherish. If nothing else, write it down (and let them read it!)

Don't just say, "I love you."  Say, "I live you."

We aren't promised another breath.  Let your heart speak.  Words heal.  They strengthen.  They comfort.  

Tell them.  Tell the people you love WHY you love them and how their love makes your life better.  And tell them often.  Even if it's "not you" to talk about your feelings...do it.  

It could change lives, your own included.
