Sometimes we're convinced that there's always tomorrow to do things. But, that's not always the case. Is there someone, no longer alive, that you wish that you had said or did something to that person?

For sure I don't know anyone that don't feel that way. If only we had one more day with them to ask the questions we never got to or tell them the things we failed too. :cry:

i'm one of the lucky ones who haven't really lost anyone near and dear...well, except my grandma. but she lived a full life and i was so happy to know her and what she taught me over the years.
i miss her...but i've never really put off things with her.

Yes there are two people. You are very right that there isnt always tomorrow. For those who think their is, my mother died the day I was going down to see her. I had to wait for my paycheck and for Friday to come because of work. So the very day I was going I got a call that morning. She was my best friend and it was so awful. So close yet so far away. Appreciate every minute, every hour and if someone is sick, get there right away because I was only hours from seeing my mom and because of hours, I never got to say goodbye.

That reflects my experience as well. I've never been good enough at hiding feelings that people didn't know where they stood with me.

As more time passes since those that are gone have passed away, I find things I could or would have said to them don't really matter as much as what I can do for those still here in the memory of those gone before.

It sounds all highbrow and philosophical now that I say it, but it's really all a coping mechanism for abandonment issues.
