Don’t wait, because one never knows what tomorrow may bring, and it may be too late.” She referred to this as “flowers for the living.” The thought of bouquets falling from my lips was magical, but the words too late felt overly dramatic — bordering on scary — and inflamed my already searing fear of death.</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">Now, years later and with more wisdom, I understand what she was saying to us: Avoid the regret of unspoken sentiments. Don’t wait until someone dies to express your esteem. Dish it out in real time.</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">Edie’s words echo in my ears, impelling me to start my own personal admiration campaign. I will make every effort to voice my veneration and spread love to the living, one well-tended bloom at a time.</p><div class="col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0"><div class="py-2 text-center text-xs uppercase">Advertisement</div><div class="flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center"><div class="flex" id="R2h5b3bat1b7rrvkqH1"><div class="hidden" id="R2h5b3bat1b7rrvkq"></div><div class="flex size-full items-center justify-center bg-marshmallow text-center leading-3 dark:bg-ramones dark:text-grey-hair" style="height:250px;width:300px">Advertisement</div><style type="text/css">#R2h5b3bat1b7rrvkqH1 { display: none; } @media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) { #R2h5b3bat1b7rrvkqH1 { display: flex; } iframe { max-width: 100vw; } }</style></div></div></div><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">I start with Helen and James Ella, the two most venerated women in my life. I invite them for lunch on a chilly spring day thinking, <em>Now is the time</em>. We cluster together on high stools, a Berkeley-style deli feast set out before us. There’s steaming stuffed cabbage, turkey sandwiches with coleslaw, dill pickles, chicken soup with matzo balls. James Ella cuts her balls into bite-size pieces, wading her spoon through warm broth. “Your mother used to make this. It’s my favorite.”</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">Helen, age 95, and James Ella, age 97, both live independently in their homes. Since my mother’s death in 2011, they have role-modeled aging for me, each in their own way, but I have benefited from their fierce intelligence and wise beauty since I was a girl. Helen taught me to turn my worry into prayer when I was a young mother.

I have asked them both about their preferences for how they’ll be celebrated when they’re gone. “Is there anything special you want at your memorial?” I inquire. Helen wants someone to sing “Deep River,” a song that left an impression on her when she was younger. James Ella, who is planning to live to be at least 100, has not yet made requests. After a lengthy decision-making process, they each elected to donate their bodies to science. James Ella, recently recruited to participate in a longevity study for people over 90, has won first prize in the nonagenarian popularity contest — two top-notch research institutions are vying to lay claim to her brain after she dies.</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">“I thought today I would tell you both what I admire about you,” I say. Their backs straighten as I pour black tea into porcelain cups and add milk. I address Helen first. “I respect your sense of justice. You stand up for what you believe. You always have,” I tell her. From the time she hired me to babysit her children when I was 16, Helen marched for peace, hosted house parties for causes she believed in, and advocated for human rights. She still wears a silver peace sign around her neck. I don’t think she has ever taken it off.</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">“Thank you, Megan,” she says, lifting the flowered teacup to her lips. I have a moment of concern that I have put her on the spot, as if voicing my appreciation has broken an unspoken code. I tell myself to trust that my words will glide through her, warming her bloodstream like the tea she is sipping.</p><figure class="col-body mb-4"><div class="relative"><img alt=""Helen (right) and I have a long history of hanging out on the front steps," the author writes. <span class="copyright">Courtesy of Megan Vered</span>" loading="lazy" width="630" height="834" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="rounded-lg" style="color:transparent" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/SAC.d3u8dK2LYHo3Vj2Zrg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTEyNzE-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_huffington_post_584/8db80464fcf56a00a7907ee6729b37ef"/></div><figcaption class="relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5"><div style="max-height:none;overflow:visible">"Helen (right) and I have a long history of hanging out on the front steps," the author writes. <span class="copyright">Courtesy of Megan Vered</span></div></figcaption></figure><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">I turn my attention to James Ella, whom I’ve known since I was 5. She has been a distinguished activist within her faith community, and for me, her resolute belief in something larger than herself has eclipsed her other commendable attributes. “Of course, what I admire most about you is your unwavering faith,” I say. She beams, recalling that I was the only child in my nonreligious family who engaged in spiritual conversation with her.</p><div class="col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0"><div class="py-2 text-center text-xs uppercase">Advertisement</div><div class="flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center"><div class="flex" id="R2k5b3bat1b7rrvkqH1"><div class="hidden" id="R2k5b3bat1b7rrvkq"></div><div class="flex size-full items-center justify-center bg-marshmallow text-center leading-3 dark:bg-ramones dark:text-grey-hair" style="height:250px;width:300px">Advertisement</div><style type="text/css">#R2k5b3bat1b7rrvkqH1 { display: none; } @media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) { #R2k5b3bat1b7rrvkqH1 { display: flex; } iframe { max-width: 100vw; } }</style></div></div></div><div class="col-body mb-4 col-body min-w-0"><div></div></div><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">After our lunch, I return home feeling a sense of accomplishment.

What’s the difference between giving a compliment and expressing admiration?</em> I, too, rarely miss an opportunity to pay a compliment. “I love your hair … glasses … dress … shoes.” But admiration reaches deeper. Referred to as a social emotion, it creates living and breathing connections. It outplays gratitude, joy, happiness and awe — all equally rewarding practices — in the way it interlaces us with other humans.</p><figure class="col-body mb-4"><div class="relative"><img alt="Helen (left) and James Ella on a lunch date with the author." loading="lazy" width="630" height="475" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="rounded-lg" style="color:transparent" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/cVuXSWv9RM2AvfO5Xz5jpQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcyNA--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_huffington_post_584/65b2d2656348f6bb3672f84ed260b457"/></div><figcaption class="relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5"><div style="max-height:none;overflow:visible">Helen (left) and James Ella on a lunch date with the author. <span class="copyright">Courtesy of Megan Vered</span></div></figcaption></figure><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">Now that I have fulfilled the promise to deliver this positive message to James Ella and Helen, there is no stopping me. Every time I am with a friend, I try to set aside a moment for “other praising.” I open each conversation with: “I want to tell you something I admire about you. While we are together.” Some examples:</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">1. “You have cultivated a lovely state of grace as you’ve grown older. You let things go instead of holding onto grudges. You set a good example for me.”</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">2. “You are so grounded.

I have learned so much from you about valuing the small ways we can add beauty and meaning to our lives.”</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">4. “You always make time to listen to your children when they need to talk and stay focused on nonjudgmental, open-minded feedback. I strive to do the same.”</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">The responses? “Thank you.” “Keep it coming.” A heartfelt hug. Friends begin to turn the tables. One tells me how my courage rubs off on her, helping her continue to pursue her dreams. Another tells me how she admires my “magic” ability to gather people together. But more than anything, they are all struck with the idea of paying it forward. They want to replicate this practice with friends.</p><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">At this point I pause to wonder, how do we fill the pockets of those who aren’t comfortable receiving compliments? Perhaps all that is needed is a gentle nod or a matter-of-fact statement: “I don’t know what I would do without you.” There is always a way.</p><figure class="col-body mb-4"><div class="relative"><img alt="The author (center) with Helen (left) and James Ella (right) in May 2024." loading="lazy" width="630" height="468" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="rounded-lg" style="color:transparent" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/qMw.nbeNS0N88VsncoOatw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcxMw--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_huffington_post_584/d04321d5ce776da6607cc466a39de470"/></div><figcaption class="relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5"><div style="max-height:none;overflow:visible">The author (center) with Helen (left) and James Ella (right) in May 2024. <span class="copyright">Courtesy of Megan Vered</span></div></figcaption></figure><p class="col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0">Since I started passing out verbal flowers with intention, I’ve already noticed a shift in my perspective.
