Words I couldn't say

I was listening to some songs on You tube and I came across the one Rascal Flatts sings called Words I Couldn't Say. It is about a man who is thinking about someone who is no longer a part of his life. It may have been someone who left him for whatever reason or someone who passed away. I believe it is someone who passed away. I wonder how many of us have lost someone who we will never be able to speak to again, suddenly, then we are left thinking of things we could have, or should have said to them?

When My fil died, my bil came to talk to us and he said one of the things he regrets is he never told his dad he loved him. It is surprising how many people think those we love should know we love them just because we do. I have learned never to go to bed angry at those I love and I always tell them I love them no matter how angry I am at them. I don't want to be standing over them someday, and think of all the things I should have said to them and didn't.

My mother and I did not have the best relationship because she did not raise me but the two of us managed to work through all our anger and find the time to show our love for each other before she died. I am so glad I was able to do that.
