I really suck at knowing what to say in situations. Take today for instance, I was ordering some flowers for my grandmothers funeral this week and I had to come up with some words to put on the note to go with them. It took me somewhere in the order of 30 minutes to think of what I wanted to say. To start with I didn't even know what I wanted to express other than saying goodbye. How do you sum up the entire interaction you had with someone who has been part of your whole life in just a few words?
Obviously I managed it in the end which is something I suppose but it was hard. You know how you feel about someone but putting that down as a permanent record so that other people will be able to understand and get that same feeling is one of the hardest things to do. I think that is why I tell my wife I love her every day. I want her to not just know but feel that she is loved by me, there is nothing more important to me than her. Hopefully by the time her and I are the age my grandmother lived to she will have known and felt that for a long long time and when the time comes will know and feel it until the end.
