A major event that I regret in my life, and I also wish I could change is a good bye I once gave that to this day I regret. About four years ago me and my family moved from Lakewood to Grafton, then the very next day my grandmother in Cleavland was rushed to the hospital due to a stroke. after that we visited her every other day, on July 6th, we visited her to learn that she had been given a eye patch due to the droopiness of the one side of her face, my final words to her that night were "Next time we see you we'll bring a parrot", and that was it, no hug, no kiss, just a smerkish remark made to this kind women. Then on July 8th, I woke up to my mother's crying, ever since I was a little child and when I could understand the difference between life and death I knew if i ever woke up to my mother's crying it would be to her own mother's death, and unfortunately I was right.
If I could go back the only and very last thing I would do is see my dear grandmother with a sincer hug I would with a firm hold but still gentle to be a hug say "Good Bye"

Sam,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing something so personal. I would think that your grandmother knew that you love her no matter what.
