Sometimes I get scared thinking about it. The death I saw, and the one I didn't. I used to spend so much time wishing I was not there the night my uncle died. How awful it was for a 18 year old to watch. then just two years later I find myself wishing I was there for Nonna the way I was there for him that night. But I was not and I have to learn to accept that. Then this leads me to think of the others too. There life, and did they know how much I loved them. In my life I am not so good at saying those three words. "I love you." Its hard for me. I don't say them much to the people that really need to hear it. Did I forget to mention it to one of the ones I have lost forever? I find my self thinking this late at night. It makes me want to be better. It makes me want to never have to wonder again if the people I love know that I love them. I realize now.
The worst pain is the "I love you" never said.

Eloquently said.
Your post is so true, Stef. Saying "I Love You" is the most important words anyone can say. A day never goes by without my mom hearing those words from me.
i'm sure nonna knew but i also agree, we need to remember to say them often. thanks for the reminder.
you are such a wise young lady Stef. Thank you for reminding us that those 3 words are so important..I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Those are words that I don't say very often either Stef. I know you said them to nonna and you know she knew you loved her. I know you have said it in your actions a million times.
Sometimes it is a touch or a deed that we do that conveys so much more than words can ever do. I think you have succeeded that a million times over with Nonna along with so many others.
