Tell someone in your life how you feel about them

Today. Not tomorrow. Not later. Even if you think the person knows how you feel, tell them or put it in writing.

I'm pretty sure my sister-in-law knew how I felt about her, but I never verbalized it or wrote it down. When she got sick I told myself that I would write her a letter telling her how much having her in my life has meant. I kept saying I'd do it, but I didn't.

She was more than a sister-in-law to me. She made me laugh, shared private jokes with me, supported me and listened to me. Over the 11 years I knew her, we developed a deep and meaningful friendship. I loved her and I will miss her dearly.
