Daily Question:
If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone?
Why haven’t you told them?

(If your just tuning in - this is question #3 of The Book of Questions
written by Gregory Stock)
Man, this one is deep! After reading this question, I am going to bed early and safely. I think we all fear not having told a loved one what we feel or think before its their time or ours to pass over. Especially after an argument, for me at least, the thought of that person being injured and not being able to say Sorry or I love you resonates with me every time harsh words have been said. Life is so precious and relatively short, that is why I think it is so important to be the Best You while we are here. Being the best You minimizes your regrets and the what if’s in your life. Wouldn’t it be nice if we always told the people we love how very much we love them and how deeply. That would solve a lot of anger, mourning and regret when that person does pass or help the others know you loved them for when we go.
My answer would be geared to my Mother. I am my Mother’s Daughter for sure but there have been many times, like a lot of mother/daughter relationships, where we butt heads and see things very differently. That often led to miscommunication and heated arguments. I always fear that she may doubt the immense amount of love and appreciation I have for her. Heaven for bid, if something were to happen to me where she would precede my life, I hope her heart will heal faster knowing that she is a pillar of strength for me and a real testament to being a strong woman who is not afraid to go after what she wants. I have been inspired to be More because of her. I am sorry for those past arguments and hurtful words. I regret any and all hurt I have caused my sweet Mother. I look at pictures of her as a young mother to my brother and I, and the look she has in her eyes, is of pure love. She still looks at us that way today. Hands down the best “YaYa” that ever walked the planet. She is dedicated to her grandchildren and they truly love their time with her. She was able to not be a product of her childhood and rose to the highest level of what a parent should be. I am so thankful for her love and the love she has for my daughter.
I would most regret – her heart being broken from losing her daughter not for not telling her something. Although, I will send her this post to read to make sure that she knows in a brief description what hopefully my actions already show her. That I am sorry we sometimes fight over unnecessary things and that there is no greater love a child has for their Mother. Thank you for my life and the right amount of love to grow into a Mother with the same look in her eyes. I hope this inspires you to tell that person how you feel while they can still hear it.
Loves her Momma,
Tasha
