Don’t wait to tell them

Don’t wait to tell them

Sometimes when you read an obituary such as the one I read about the death of Ed Blank, you wonder to yourself “Why did I not tell them how great they were?” I always read his articles; as a reporter, drama editor, etc. He was so very talented.

Why is it we wait too long to tell people how wonderful they are? That includes people we went to school with, and worked with, people who were my neighbors and people that are now my neighbors?
