I have loved this quote ever since I first heard it a few years ago. It was in a talk given in LDS General Conference entitled “Finding Joy in the Journey.”
This is the full quote:
Send that note to the friend you’ve been neglecting; give your child a hug; give your parents a hug; say “I love you” more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of “what if” and “if only.” Said author Harriet Beecher Stowe, “The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.”
Life is too short. Forgive. Love.
Have a fabulous Sunday, friends!
