68 People Reveal Shocking Regrets That Changed Their Lives Forever
Not flying to see my grandfather on his deathbed.
It haunts me.
When I was told to call him they said that he couldn’t speak anymore and to just say what I wanted and that he could understand for now.
I pulled some words out of my a*s and told him that I loved him and that as long as live I will honor him and keep his memory alive. He made some sounds. I heard my grandmother tell him not to try and speak. He forced himself to speak to me using what energy he had to tell me he loved me and was proud of me. That he did that for me when he wasn’t supposed to made my heart break.
I will never forget how hard it was for him to say those words. The strangled tears in his throat as he tried with all his heart to say goodbye to me one last time.
I should have been there. I was too afraid. Too ashamed. I know that he would have wanted me there. I know that I was his favorite. I was the only one that followed in his footsteps even remotely. I feel like I failed him when he really needed me, after everything he did for me.

When I finished college I had banked a good amount of cash from working my internship and had a sweet job offer right out of school.
A friend suggested that I take a month off between jobs and travel. Instead I gave my future employer a start date a few days after graduation.
