Call one you haven't spoken to in a while, even if it's been years.
Last January I was going through my phone and saw the number of someone who, when I was in single digits, was a huge part of my life. She volunteered at museums (both art and history) as well as different theaters and auditoriums. From an early age she helped me develop a love of learning and an interest in the arts.
She had been going through some health problems and some loneliness when I had called her, but it was so great to speak with her. I told her how I probably wouldn't be doing the things I'm doing or had the experiences I've had had it not been for all she did for me.
Since then, I'd been sending her postcards from the museums in New York as well as cards on the holidays. It felt really good to have her know how much she meant to me and have her be a part of my life.
This morning she died. I've spent the day talking to family, sharing memories, etc.
What I'm saying is, there's probably someone in your life who gave a lot of time to you and helped shape the person you are now that would love to hear from you. Tomorrow, you should give them a call.
