Recently a young woman I mentored died of a drug overdose. Everyone who knew her is understandably devastated. Even though she was loved deeply, she didn't feel loved.
Make sure that the people who matter to you know they matter. Don't assume they know; tell them and tell them often. Pick up the phone, mail a card, be generous with your hugs - demonstrate actively that those people matter to you.
When you walk into a room, do you walk in with the attitude of "yes, here I am!" or rather "oh, there you are!"? I don't always get it right, but my goal is to always walk into a room with a perspective of "oh, there you are! YOU are just who I wanted to see because you are important to me."

Thank you Liene!! I was reminded a few years ago how fragile and precious the people in our lives are. Thank you for reminding us
Liene, I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for the reminder to be kind and to be present with the ones our lives.
Liene, the timing of your post truly strikes such a personal chord with me. Having just lost a college buddy to suicide a couple of weeks ago, I truly believe it so important that we remind people daily how much we love them. To all who knew him, my friend was a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air and I only wished I had paused long enough to make sure he knew that. A lovely and oh so appropriate post...
My heart and thoughts are with you and all who loved your friend...
