A couple of years ago I would hear the Sister I live with say to her mom on the phone I love you too. I knew her mom had told her I love you.
I was feeling bad as my mom and dad had already passed away and no one was saying that to me or me to them.
God heard my inner frustration and out of the blue my brother started saying I love you. It had the same sort of feeling I was longing for. Over the years that has become very special conversation for us. We talk every night and end in the same way with our I love you. Not as a response to the other but from the depth of our hearts.
This morning before my shower I got a call my brother was in ED in the hospital at home. As I drove there I thought of all of the I love yous said and thanked God for them. I felt a peaceful feeling and felt whatever the day brought the I love you would always be in my heart.
My brother today while in ICU said" are you going to sit there all day looking at me?" "Go home and I love you". the nurses said he was okay for me to leave. I will go back tomorrow.
The 2 hr drive coming home I had plenty of time to reflect on I love you. I thought are there more people I should be saying I love you to while I still can.
It is never too late to begin. I really don't need a notice hanging in the bathroom somewhere to remind me it is never too late to say I love to whomever I feel I want to. How about you. Are there some I love you's you still need to say while there is still time?
