Thursday Thirteen #54 Self-Reflection Edition

Greetings, Kittens!

Recently a few people from my past have cropped back up and it got me to thinking about all of those who won't have that opportunity for one reason or another. Some people who played significant parts in my life for good or ill will never know where things stand now. So in honor of all that has gone before to shape me into the person I am, I present you the 13 Things I Should Have Said.

Enjoy.

13 Things I Should Have Said

1. I'm sorry
2. I forgive you
3. I understand
4. It doesn't have to be this way
5. You didn't know any better
6. You had no right
7. You matter
8. It's not too late
9. It's okay
10. This will pass
11. I see you
12. I hear you
13. I could love you

I met with an elder friend yesterday who told me that she wants a announcement at her funeral that she apologizes to anyone she has ever hurt. I'm going to be thinking about your list and see what lines come to mind for me. http://looseleafnotes.com

I think that's a great announcement to make. If you've missed anyone in life and you go before them, it's a chance for them to hear it finally.
