I'm okay most of the time in reference to losing my parents, but when I allow myself to revisit my past with them, it still hits me in the gut. I admit I sometimes waste time thinking about regrets I have in things I said and did that disappointed them or even the things I didn't do and say that I let haunt me sometimes. I know it doesn't do me any good to think negatively like that, but I guess it's human nature that I'm trying to overcome.
One thing is for sure, we must make sure that those good memories are imprinted on our brains which requires that we focus on those great times as much as we can. Those sweet memories are part of their legacies and hopefully those memories will inspire us to be more engaged with our friends and family because we'll have a better understanding as to their true value.
