Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?

Maybe it is something that anybody would do as a good friend but without it your life would be a lot worse....?Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?Dad gave me a kidney how do you repay that?Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?That is ok. I hope that it has made a difference to your life and there is no need to thank me after all is that not I am here for?Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?Yes! I have several good friends who have been there for me - just a hug can sometimes be enough, and I have always been there for them and will be again.



My step-father for making my mother happy for 10 years before he died - and me. He was a lovely, gentle giant with a quick wit, who was more of a father to me than my real father ever was.



And I thank God with all my heart and with all my soul. Without him coming to pull me out of the miry pit, I would have been six feet under by now, without a doubt!Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?I always found a simple 'thank you' was best for those situations.Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?Well, your welcome, eg..., I had no idea the 50 points would mean that much to you.Have you ever wanted to thank somebody for something so important and life changing that you didn't know how?Yes, actually. I had a friend in high school who helped me through a very rough patch in my life. She's still a friend all these years later, and yet I have never really told her how much her simply being kind and understanding meant, and mean, to me. I sympathize with how hard it is to articulate such deep gratitude into mere words; words can be so clumsy and inadequate to the task.



Sometimes, a heartfelt %26quot;thank you%26quot; is sufficient, but if you have a close, personal bond with this person, then try telling them in detail. No matter how muddled you think your expression of thanks seems, they will undoubtedly be able to fill in the verbal gaps themselves, and intuit just how meaningful what you are trying to convey is to you.



It doesn't matter if what the act was may seem commonplace or expected of a good friend; the important thing is the effect it has had on your life, and you feeling the need to make your feelings known. I say, go for it. You'll both feel good for doing so. Maybe this will spur me on to finally take my own advice.
