Although the first part of your post inspired me to get out of my PJs and go buy some fresh veggies, it was your personal note that touched my heart. I second the comments made by the person before me...live with no regrets...but I'll take it one step further with this suggestion: Have the "deathbed" conversation now...before it's too late! Since my Dad's passing, I have become the poster child for encouraging everyone to have "the talk" with their loved ones, especially with parents. Living cross country from my parents, chances were that I would not be bedside when the day came. Early on, I decided to have "the talk" beforehand so that I could have peace of mind/heart once they were gone. Live with no regrets and no (Catholic) guilt :-) Fortunately, I had the honor and privlege of having the deathbed conversation with my Dad...several months before he suddenly/unexpectedly passed away. Indeed a learning lesson for me and the rest of my family... I can only say that having "the talk" truly helped during the grieving process. Some 13 yrs. later, his passing is still hard, but I know it would be far worse had we not said "all those things"...before it was too late... Listen to your heart...it'll tell you what to do.

Personally, I think that's the meaning of life. Don't have any regrets whether it be calling your parents or grandparents just to say hi on a regular basis, stop taking your job so damn seriously and stop every now and then to enjoy the world. Whatever. I have regrets...with my late MIL, my friend Mike...the list could probably go on. I am making it mission in life to not have any more regrets. That way life won't be so stupid anymore. ;) I certainly don't plan on taking a skydiving trip or anything crazy like that. I just want to make sure that I don't let what is important to me in my life slip on by. Sounds like you are doing the same thing. Hugs my friend. I'm only a phone call away if you need me. (And we do make time for each other when we really need it. That's what makes us great friends. No worries there.)
