Tell them today because they may not be here tomorrow.

This is so true. I was thinking about this the other day, the importance of reminding our loved ones that we love them. Some might say three little words don't mean anything if they are said too often, but I disagree. I tell my mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law and close friends and family that I love them every single time I talk to them. There is no shame in it, it is the truth and it needs to be said. What if the one time you hang up and don't say it just so happens to be the last time you talk to them? Something happened to a friend today that definitely reiterates the importance of this idea and my heart hurts for him.
"This is how it works. I love the people in my life, and I do for my friends whatever they need me to do for them, again and again, as many times as is necessary. For example, in your case you always forgot who you are and how much you're loved. So what I do for you as your friend is remind you who you are and tell you how much I love you. And this isn't any kind of burden for me, because I love who you are very much. Every time I remind you, I get to remember with you, which is my pleasure."
