This is a card which I gave my Father before he passed away some years ago.
I came across it recently and felt it was still ‘spot on’, perhaps more now than it was then!
It’s easy to say ‘act now’, ‘don’t let things fester’, ‘don’t leave things unsaid’, ‘appreciate those who care for you and what they are trying to do’; but often it’s when they change, leave, pass; that one realises how valuable they were.

It was SO nice to see : )
