Tell your friends you love them. An internet and sometimes irl friend (when we lived in the same state) passed away and his parents found my address from a holiday card. They printed out and sent me his obituary in the mail.
I’m going to blaze this post, it’s important. Tell your friends you love them, tell them how much they mean to you. Don’t wait until you’re staring at their obituary to wonder if they knew.
I have multiple friends dealing with serious business potentially fatal illnesses right now. I've also had a few friends die suddenly with no chance to tell them, hey, you rock, no matter how completely fucking wrong you are about the right way to eat Weetabix (and, you know, I can't believe that was our last interaction).
So, yeah. Tell your friends they are awesome.
(Friends. You are awesome.)
(Just a CYA one. Please do not drop dead or get hit by a bus or anything until such a time as I have had a chance to give you individual "you RULE"s.)
