I always make sure I say “I love you” to family members, when we part. It’s a tiny thing, but you never know when something could happen to either of you.
That’s sweet, Ive only said that to my gf and I cringe at the idea of ever saying that. Saying it to one person is tough enough I can’t imagine saying it to anyone else.
That’s a really nice habit to have!
It’s one of those things. I’ve managed to purge the negative feelings now.
Ironically, I don’t really remember our last interaction, in person. It was pleasant and enjoyable, but so normal as to just blur with other visits. That amuses me quite a bit (so many nice visits I can no longer pick 1 out). My habit of saying “I love you” at the end of every visit helps a lot.
When i started doing this, my other family members were a little weirded out, but now it feels natural to part this way and their response feels natural too. I’m so glad i started.

I sadly lost my nan, unexpectedly a while back. It’s a significant comfort to know some of the last words I spoke to her were “I love you both”.
So sorry for your loss, i’ve had terrible luck with last interactions with my grandparents before their deaths.

It takes a bit of practise to get over the awkwardness. But it’s totally worth it.

Particularly when leaving on bad terms, or in a fight, or just nagging, you would probably forever feel guilt and remorse
