Did I ask them when they came back, who was sick? Is she better now? I did not. I liked them both so much, Sandy and Jocelyn. I felt terrible for failing them.
Really be intentional about caring for others. Ask them questions about their life, don't spend all the time you have with them talking and/or worrying about yourself. It's okay to say things about ourselves, but not if that's the only thing we're doing. Actions speak louder than words, you can tell someone you care - but they'll truly believe it when you show that you actually do through the way you treat them. Don't take the people in your life for granted, lots of times they give so much for us yet we don't treat them close to the same way. We love these people but sometimes we don't show it like we should.

It faced--or seemed to face--the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.”
