In Episode 15 I discuss the importance of making the changes in your life and showing people how much you care about them before it's too late. My father once said,  "show people that you love them and care for them when they are alive, not when they die." Experiencing so many deaths in such a short time period has amplified this exact thought because one just never knows when their last day on earth will be. I share how I try to show love to people in my life to prevent  feelings of regret should anything happen to them.
