Regret

I regret not spending more time with my dad. He died when i was about 7 and so i never got to get to know him very well. I still remember the musky smell of oil and dust that clung to him like he was a big grining dutch barn. I still remember sitting on his lap when I was 5 and steering while he worked the pedals. I suppose most of all I regret not getting to say goodbye.

Wow. I can't imagine what that is like. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It must have been heart breaking.

I kind of know what your going throu because my mom has cancer. I know I am older and all. But I want to spend as much time with her as I can. We don't know if she will live or die but I definetly want to spend as much time with her as possible. I also know that it is hard and really hurts some times
