I have many regrets...

Regret is a tool that reminds you not to make the same mistake twice.

A Story

I had known a very pleasant old lady by the name of Mrs. Picke — a friend of my grandmother’s. She cared deeply for me, and was always giving me gfits since I was a boy. Even though she was scary to me when I was younger fellow, I still cherished what little time I visited her.

As I grew to become a teenage and adult, of course, I saw her much less. When I was able to start driving in high school I made a promise to myself to visit her one day after school to show her how much I’ve grown and to show her my school uniform — at the time I was in 6th form.

But alas, constant push backs to visit her, until she died a few months after. I missed my opportunity. I had become regretful.

To make up for it, at her funeral I wore my uniform and blazer, it was the least I could do in her death.

The Lesson from Regret

I now know that death awaits us all, and that things and people we care about can vanish. As a result I’ve made a lot more of an effort to spend time with my grand mother and mother, even if it inconveniences my ability to be efficient in life. I don’t know when they may be gone, so I try to be around them as much as possible.

Running out of time to say you love me ❤️
