REGRETS

REGRETS, WE HAVE ALL HAD THEM. THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS WATCHING A TELEVISION SHOW, AND THE WORKER FOR THE FAMILY FOR SEVEN YEARS ALL OF A SUDDEN DIED. IT WAS QUITE TRAGIC. THE MOTHER OF THE FAMILY SAID SHE WOULD SEE THE MAN AFTER HIS SURGERY. HE DIDN'T MAKE IT, HE DIED ON THE OPERATING TABLE. THEY NEVER GOT TO TELL HIM HOW THEY FELT ABOUT HIM. THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD PLENTY OF TIME .IT HAPPENS.

I REGRET NOT BEING THERE WHEN SOMEONE SPECIAL TO ME LEFT THIS WORLD. I WAS IN CONNECTICUT TRYING TO GET THINGS READY SO THE PERSON COULD GO HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL. I WAS NOT THERE. I REGRET NOT BEING THERE.

ANOTHER TIME, I SAID GOOD BYE TO SOMEONE, WITHOUT REALIZING I WOULD NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN. I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I WOULD MISS THEM.

SOME PEOPLE WE MEET IN LIFE, AND WE ARE LIKE SHIPS CROSSING PATHS IN THE OCEAN. THE ACQUAINTANCE IS SHORT AND BRIEF, YET SOMETIMES HAS A LASTING EFFECT ON THE REST OF OUR LIVES. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MEETING AND LOSING PEOPLE WILL EFFECT YOU UNTIL AFTERWARD. IT IS REALLY EASY TO LOOK BACK, IT IS HARDER AT THAT MOMENT TO REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING.

I THINK WE SHOULD ALL MAKE A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION, TO SAY WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS TO THE PEOPLE WE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT. WE SHOULD NOT WANT TO LOSS SOMEONE AND NOT HAVE THEM KNOW, HOW MUCH THEY HAVE MEANT TO US, IN OUR LIVES.

IF WE SAY WHAT WE FEEL, SOME MAY THINK OF US AS WEAK. BUT ARE WE BY SPEAKING FROM THE HEART REALLY WEAK, OR ARE WE BEING REALLY BRAVE AND STRONG? SPEAK UP, GIVE HUGS AND KISSES, AND JUST BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER. IF WE DO THAT WE WILL HAVE NO REGRETS. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
