There is great power in words. We know what it feels like to have a harsh word spoken to us with sarcasm or in anger. It cuts like a knife and leaves a scar forever embedded in our heart. Our mind marks it unforgettable.
Knowing how words have the ability to leave a lasting impression, how often do we choose words to lift rather than wound?
If I was dying, what would you share with me, and why? Would you be more mindful and cautious with your choice of words? Would your presentation be sweeter, kinder?
If I was dying, would you tell me you love me…and perhaps, more often? Would you fill my heart with daisies instead of scars? If so, what changed between us that you should treat me differently now?
Why do we hesitate to lift someone? What are we waiting for?
Today, give someone something wonderful to etch as unforgettable in their mind, and fill their heart with daisies. ♥️

I would tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I’d also talk about some of the great little shopping trips we have taken with the kids and without. And all the great restaurants we’ve gone to over the years with the kids and without. And then I would remind you how much I was going to miss you.
