Remembering to say "Thank you"


More than a quarter century ago my mother, just days before she died, asked me to prepare a thank-you card. She found the words somewhere then together we adapted them for her special card. Though I don't know when my mother heard them or read them, they are so tender and thoughtful.

Sometimes, not often enough, we reflect upon the good things and those thoughts always center around those we love.

And we think about those people who mean so much to us and for so many times have made us so very happy.

And we count the times we have forgotten to say "Thank you" and just how much we love and appreciate you.
