Let your love be known without condition while you still can

Celebrate the grades, the promotions, the acceptance to a prestigious school by all means – but also honour those you love just because they’re special to you regardless of what they’re doing. — JOHN HAIN/Pixabay.com

This week’s column is a bit of a special one for me as it falls on Fathers Day, June 19, as well as my nephew’s birthday – it’s always nice to have days like these to reflect on those who matter. Occasions to celebrate, congratulate and cherish others are wonderful opportunities to bring to mind those who truly make life meaningful and provide feelings of connection, support, and love.

Admittedly, this is something I’ve only just begun to understand after some 30-odd years of introversion and a penchant for solitude. The older I get, the more time seems to sharpen my sense of the importance of family, friends, good colleagues and others who give my life its worth.
