Makes Me Think - Today, I found out that my best (guy) friend was critically injured in Afghanistan during his first week of deployment. He had to have his left leg amputated. In the 10 years we’ve been friends, I’ve never had the courage to tell him how much I love him. I'm visiting him next week. And I intend to tell him. MMT

Yes. Tell him. He needs people to tell him that despite all his injuries or anything which might cause any harm to his body, people still do love him.

Yes! Please tell him! Was in a similar situation not long ago, and believe me, it is the greatest feeling in the world! Make sure to come back and let us know how it goes!

Good for you! Tell him how you feel, and that you still love him despite his injury. And thank him for his service and sacrifice, what he's doing is just as hard as telling him you love him. How did it go?

Is there any particular reason why so many MMTs end with "and I intend to tell" whoever?
