Thank you. For noticing. For showing up. For making a difference without even knowing how much it mattered.
What did they do?
You showed up. That’s the sentence.
How did it make you feel?
Less alone. That’s a larger gift than it looks like from the outside.
Why did it matter?
You probably thought it was a small thing. It wasn’t. You made a difficult moment easier simply by being there.
What do you wish you had said then?
Thank you. Not just for what you did, but for the fact that you noticed I needed someone.
What do you want them to remember?
Some kindness stays with people much longer than the person who gave it realizes.
With gratitude.
