Journalling reads: I’m not ashamed to admit there are a lot of things I regret in my life. I regret not taking more photos of Leo, I thought that I would have plenty of time to take photos once he got home, cute photos without tubes and wires, I regret not making more of an effort to talk to and visit my mother in law before she died, I knew she was sick, I knew the cancer was terminal but I didn’t feel well enough to make the effort to go and see her, I was filled with hostility towards her because of things she had said and done, if i’d known just how sick she was none of that would have mattered. I regret not making a backup copy of all Lukas’s baby photos before Mark touched to computer and erased them all. All I had left was a few that had been printed out, and some polaroids. Each and every one of my regrets is in all honesty, one simple regret - I regret that I always assumed there would be a tomorrow to get everything done. I wasted precious moments because I forgot that those moments could be the last ones I got to experience with the ones I love. Even hindsight doesn’t stop me from ending up in situations that could be avoided if I just stopped procrastinating. I always make the effort to never go to sleep without telling everyone I love how I feel, telling them each night is at least preventing a future regret of them not knowing how much I cared about them. Until I learn to cherish every moment, and stop wasting time there will always be regrets, but i’m ok with that because my regrets make me the person I am, I learn something new with each and every one.
