I once heard someone say “don’t bring me flowers to my grave, bring them while I’m alive.” It makes sense, often times we take people for granted or we think we’re gonna have a lot of time to “do it later” but tomorrow is not promised. It’s not just about literal roses, it’s about sharing your love, appreciation, affection with the people you care about while they are alive. Don’t wait for Valentine’s, birthdays, or anniversaries, speak your love out loud as often as you can. To my friends and loved ones: thank you for your love, care, and support. You are my community. You are my village.
