My best friend was having surgery, and I'd quietly decided I had to be there every second of it. 

So when a once-in-a-lifetime concert landed right in the middle of that week, I said no before I'd even finished hearing the offer, and I wore that no like a badge. Then on a walk a few days later it hit me. I had never actually asked her what she needed. I'd just decided. 

This one's about the quiet sacrifices we make for the people we love, the ones nobody ever asked us for, and the single honest question that sets everybody free. 

Question to carry into your day:
What are you giving up for someone right now that you've never actually asked them about?
