Having coffee, smth sweet and a followup cigarrete in the morning makes me happy to be awake. Or kiss goodbyes and hellos.

I always make sure I say "I love you" to family members, when we part. It's a tiny thing, but you never know when something could happen to either of you.

    That's sweet, Ive only said that to my gf and I cringe at the idea of ever saying that. Saying it to one person is tough enough I can't imagine saying it to anyone else. That's a really nice habit to have!

    I sadly lost my nan, unexpectedly a while back. It's a significant comfort to know some of the last words I spoke to her were "I love you both".

    So sorry for your loss, i've had terrible luck with last interactions with my grandparents before their deaths.

    It's one of those things. I've managed to purge the negative feelings now.

    Ironically, I don't really remember our last interaction, in person. It was pleasant and enjoyable, but so normal as to just blur with other visits. That amuses me quite a bit (so many nice visits I can no longer pick 1 out). My habit of saying "I love you" at the end of every visit helps a lot.

    Particularly when leaving on bad terms, or in a fight, or just nagging, you would probably forever feel guilt and remorse

    I have to start doing this.. Saying I love you even when, or especially when, someone did something I did not like..

    "I hated what you just did.. It make me feel like crap. Still, I love you."
