nApparentlynthis special day came about because a sudden, shocking accidentnkilled a father and son, and one of their friends realized that henhad never gotten around to telling them that they mattered to him.
n
n
n
n
n
nSuchna beginning just sounds depressing, but what this friend decided tondo about his regrets is to find the time to tell the people who arenstill alive that they matter to him. And he decided to urge all of usnto do so, too.
n
n
n
n
n
n Sonlook around at your friends and family, today. Tell them that theynmatter to you. You might want to go farther – tell them how younfeel about them, share important memories you cherish of them, tellnthem how you depend on them.
n
n
n
n
n
nMaybensome of your acquaintances and Real-Life strangers who are friends onnsocial media matter to you, too. Tell them so. Maybe even somencomplete strangers you have never ever talked to matter to you –nthe kid you see sweeping the sidewalk every morning, the woman whonwrote that one book you love, the coach your best friend has told younso much about. It takes a bit of courage to reach out to strangers,nbut it might be wonderful for them to hear that they matter tonsomeone!
n
n
n
n
nThenfellow who started You Matter to Me Day says that there is power inn“mattering.” When someone matters, he makes an impact on others,nhe counts for something. People care about someone who matters;npeople love her and/or depend on her. n
n
n
n
n
n
nThenmotto of You Matter to Me Day is “Because everyone matters tonsomeone, and someone matters to you.” I think that says it all!
