  • Ditto with me and my mum...she was young, she was in hospital but not expected to die, just a broken bone. The next day I got a call, saying she wasn't well and that maybe we should visit. I tried to ask how urgent it was but they wouldn't tell me and downplayed it.. so I had no idea she was fighting for her life :( By the time I had collected my kids, and my sister and her daughter it was too late :( I regret I didn't hurry.. I could have :( But then again they SHOULD have told me it was serious :(

  • Oh that's.a.bummer.
    I think that on top.of.being sad, I would have been angry too.
    Sorry about that Day. Thank you for.sharing.such an intimate moment.

  • Yea loads... I try to always DO what my impulses tell me, good or bad, so that I at least don't have any regrets for not doing something. but inevitably it happens.. We know I am an advocate for speaking up against injustice, that goes both personal and wider issues.. there was a time about a week ago I wanted to tell someone something.. but unfortunately I missed her.. I have a feeling it's just a delaying of something that needs saying so maybe I will get a chance later.

  • Oh we have this mega stressy person who works for us... she's ok at what she does but is forever complaining.. I get that she gets stressed but the thing is she causes the stress herself, goes on about endless emails but it's HER who's sending them... and the thing is she KEEPS twisting this round to try to blame the only other person around.. me..  and it's unfair and while everyone know's what she is like the point was I felt I needed a chat with her to say, look I understand all your issues BUT it's not fair to blame me, that's not on.. and I don't appreciate it...  Unfortunately I didn't see her and so she is still doing it, twisting things..

  • Oh man, 
    I hate to confront people with stuff like that you know?
    It is like getting a.prostate exam, you know you got to doit, but man, I wish somebody else could do it for me. You know?
    Good luck with that Day. )

  • I always wanted to say, "Checkmate!" to Bobby Fischer. Now *sigh* it's too late. Maybe one day I'll meet him at the Washington-Square-Park-in-the-sky.

  • Interesting you'd say that, I was.just checking out the Game of the Century, and his big queen sacrifice game. 
    Im not an expert like I suspect you may be, I just like the game.
    Thank you D, yeah that would be something to say!)

  • It was certainly an amazing game from a player so young. Donald Byrne was, at that time, one of the top players in the US.

  • No there really isn't. Those closest to me are told daily how much they mean to me.

  • That's pretty good, Angela.

    I mean it doesn't have to be good, you know? You've never been angry and later on thought, "I should have said this"?

    That is a nice answer, thank you for sharing.

  • I thought about just that thing, anger, came to the conclusion that if I hadn't said what I wanted at the time, it wasn't worth revisiting to figure that out.

  • Hm, 
    I wish I could think like you, sometimes I can and I say, whatever you know?. . . Others times it is not so easy. 
    Thank you Angela.

  • That's funny.
    I know right, it is usually about half an hour later when I come up with the perfect zinger. 
    So true.

  • Yes ..... I wasnt talking my mom for couple years before she died. I wish I'd made peace with her. Also I wish I'd told my grade 8 teacher off for slamming my head against a desk :)

  • I got lucky, I didn't talk to my mother for a.while either. A longer while than you. But I talk to her now. Im sorry you couldn't talk to her. Things that use to be big tend to become.smaller before the irreparability of being gone for good. You know?
    I didn't make peace.with her before my father went away. So I know how you feel.
    On the teacher one, yes! 
    There was teacher in middle school, if I could go back. He was Spanish and his last name was Colón. Imagine what I could do with that now!!
    Thanks for sharing that Jaimie.
