What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
Today I had a patient who was down with vomiting and giddiness. With her was her affectionate and caring husband. He was by her side throughout. When she threw up, when she was administered the injectables. A hand around her shoulder just showing that he cares.
Just having some one for you during your difficult phase makes the process easy. And showing that you care gives the other person a reason to live.
Many a times we love and care for each other but fail to express it. We are busy getting agitated and irritable or suppressing our expressions to meet social dogma. But a small gesture on your end could mean a whole world to the other.
I am not speaking of any public display but rather just small acts like making coffee or having a walk together or even just sitting and talking with each other without focusing on the screen of a gadget gives the other person a sense of belonging and feeling of being wanted.
It is better to be expressive today than cry in regret later when the person and moment no longer exist.
