It’s Never Too Late to Say Thank You – A Story About a Small Word and Its Huge Impact

One small word has the power to change your life

A woman sits on a bench, looking out over the expanse of her homeland. As a child, she often visited this place with her father and marvelled at the beauty of the landscape – today, it’s where she is searching for answers. A pen and notepad sit in her lap. Her father will soon turn 85, and she is organising a surprise party for him as a big thank you for everything he’s done. But the task proves to be more difficult than expected, and it is only through conversations with friends, family and companions, that she realises gratitude is more than a feeling: It’s an attitude that sets free reconciliation, peace and closeness. By turns warm-hearted, humorous and profound, this book reminds us of the healing powers of gratitude before the end of life.
