Do it when you can. .

My Step Grandfather will be turning 70 tomorrow.

My grandfather has done so much for me, more than i will probably ever know. He's treated me as one of his own grandchildren, taken care of my family when we need it the most, taught me some of the greatest life leasons, and encourged me in everything i do.

Last night i attended a surprise party for him and i watched him blow out all 70 candles and people cry when he gave a toast and everyone love on this man more than i have ever seen in my life.
And at the end of the party i got to spend some time with him alone, we talked for several hours just catching up on the past few months. And as i sat there talking to him i realized i've never tolled him how much i really apprecaite him for everything he's done. Sadly, i didn't get another chance to tell him before i left town.

What i'm trying to say here is tell the people you love that you love them. Tell the people you care about that you care aboutt them. And thank all the people who have been there for you, before it's too late.

We shouldn't wait till ocasions like 70th birthdays to come up to tell someone that you think the world of them. We shouldn't wait till it's to late to let someone know how much you really do love them and thank them for everything they do for you.

So, I say to everyone who will ever read this, go out there and tell your parents, grandparents, aunts, unlces, friends, teachers, co-workers. Who ever they may be and thank them for everything they have ever done for you. Let them know how blessed you feel to have someone in their lives like you. Because i know i would like to hear that coming from you if i were them. And as for me, i'm writting my grandfather a letter to tell him all the things i wish i had said earlier.
