Jim Warman Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I am almost sorry to re-open Larrys thread - but something I wanted to mention.... something I NEED to mention... something we all can learn from.... I lost both of my parents in less than a year... Dad went first - a major surprise since Mum was always the sick on.... Mum had already been battling cancer for several years when the old guy left us and it didn't take long for her to decide it was her turn. Learn from this part.... if you are to learn anything from my life... here it comes... The last time I spoke with my Mum.... we argued.... it doesn't matter over what... by this time most anything is going to be trivial... But we argued.... Today... this very minute.... if you have something you have been meaning to say to a loved one... reach out and say it... If you have an "I'm sorry..." or two stuck in your throat... Get it done.... It's been over 15 years since I last talked to Mum... and there's not a day goes by that I don't remember our last conversation.... wishing I could undo it....

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Jim, I understand where your coming from. Thankfully I had the chance to talk at length with my mum over the last year. She outlived what the doctors had told her in regards of her life expectancy, but she knew she was on borrowed time and was ok with it. Over the past 10 or so years I have had 2 divorces and lost 2 of my kids love and respect due to the ex's brainwashing. My mum beat it in to me to either deal with it or drive myself crazy. Guess which choice I made..... Jim I do feel for you and respect and believe we all have something to say to our loved ones before its to late. Thank You.
