Who deserves your gratitude? Don’t wait.

Thank

the one who sat next to you
who never left you
who looked you in the eyes

the one who walked with you
who held your hand
who handed you a tissue

the one who showed up early
who waited for you
who stayed up late

the one who heard you
who remembered
who believed

Thank the one.
Thank them all.
Do it now.
