Brendan Kane shares a story about missing a call from his father, who died in a car accident shortly after. He urges you to reach out to people you miss now, send a message, and schedule time to see them in person. Small moments matter most when you don't know they're the last ones.
The most painful goodbyes are the ones you didn't know were goodbyes. You mean to call your dad after dinner, but the dishes pile up. You get lost in the chores. He calls you, but you don't pick up. The next day you find out he was in a car accident. You feel guilty for not picking up the phone, not because it could have been his last day, but because you now realize each day is just as important as the last. Open your contacts and pick one person you miss. Send, I've been thinking about you. Put a visit on the calendar this week, no matter how busy you are. You will never regret making time for them, but I promise you, you will regret all the times you let the little things get in the way.
