A certain gentleman I have known all my life was very helpful to me one day last March when I collapsed at work....and, for whatever reason, it has taken me until today to thank him properly for it....although not for want of trying on my part....I just haven't seen him except in passing. Are "thank yous" better late than never?

His reaction today, by the way, was simply that he was glad everything had worked out for me.

of course..
i will take a thank you..any time or way...
it shows that you are considerate enough to say so..
it's actually those little things that do mean a lot..

I believe that thank yous are better late than never, because at least you're showing the person that you did appreciate whatever it was that they did for you. Besides for most people they don't do good deed to get thank yous they do it because that's just what they do. So I'm sure that a late thank you would be just as good as an on time one

I think it is definitely better late then never. Sometimes when I get a thank you later I am happy I was able to help in a way that they still are thankful to me. That is great you wrote a thank you since I feel like it is unfortunately going out of fashion with many people...

Sometimes circumstances keep us from doing the right thing at that moment. But it is always better late than never. Thank you is accepted and welcome regardless of when you get them. The fact that you remembered after months had passed is an admirable thing. Sometimes people just put it out of their minds and forget it. So hats off to you!!!

Yes, better late than never and honestly people who do things simply to help out - it won't bother them whether you say it or not they were simply glad to be able to be of assistance (but you should always say thanks). Its the people that do things just to show others that they are helpful that need that gratification behind it.

I hope you are OK.I think a thankyou should be sort of prompt,but it's better late then never because it shows appreciation,also some people don't forget everything and make keep that as a reminder lol.

I think a thankyou would still be in order. Theres nothing wrong with saying that it is long overdo in the thankyou as well.
Goodluck and glad to hear you are doing better.

yes always!! it irks me to no end when people neglect to say thank you. It also influences my decisions as to whether to help again. I always got on my kids when they were young and still do about the importance of thank you. It took me 2 years of nagging my youngest about saying thank you for people who helped send her to Italy when she was in college. she finally did and it's because she is a big procrastinator. it is good you said thank you no matter how long it took.

Yes I think so and I would be really moved if someone looked up and thanked me for something that I did months ago - it shows that they really did appreciate it and haven't forgotten.
