I often think of the things that I wish I had told my mother.During the last few days of her life，I stayed with her.I wanted to tell her about those things and that I was proud to be her daughter，but I didn't.She was so sick at that time that she couldn't hear me at all.That was too late.
I'd had a lifetime to tell her all those things，so why did I wait？
My dad was a man of few words too，but he meant what he said.He always ended our calls with "Love you，Girl."
Those became the words I would cling to（緊握不放）when I learned he had died.I had all sorts of questions that I never asked him，but I never doubted his love.
Now，I have children and grandchildren of my own. ▲ They might get sick of it，but we'll never stop.
From late December to mid-February，we celebrate 11 birthdays in our big family.
It gets a little emotional（感人的）.Last week，for example，we phoned my youngest son to wish him a happy birthday.I listened as my husband told our son how proud he was of him.
He ended the call，as always，with "I love you，buddy."
And I yelled， "Me，too!" I hoped he heard me.
When we tell someone what they mean to us，we don't need to be poetic or even smart.We just need to mean it，and to make sure they hear it.And we need to do it now，while we can.The best time to say "I love you" is always right now.
