“I told my aging parents I love them while I still can.”
There's a window for saying the real thing, and it closes without warning. You didn't wait for the deathbed to say what should be said in the living room. That's the whole tenet — say it now, do it now, because the chance is finite and you don't get to choose when it ends.
Your Practice
- Say the specific thing, not just 'I love you' — name what they gave you.
- Ask them the questions you'll wish you'd asked. Write the answers down.
- Record their voice or their stories while you can.
- Decide how often you'll show up, not just call, and hold to it.
