You are so right. I have lost some people in my life who were so dear -- especially my husband. It is difficult to live with regrets of things left unsaid, and so important to try to remember to tell -- and show -- those in our lives how much they mean to us. I plan on doubling my effort to do that his year. All the best to you and those you love in 2012.<br />VictoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791296934306530073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-89162264201633282392012-01-01T11:38:24.896-08:002012-01-01T11:38:24.896-08:00Kathysue my dear friend!

I have often said that if I could go back and have just one dinner with my family, the way we were when my kids were small, it would be a dream come true. I think the meaning of time becomes more apparent as we age. There is nothing worse than regret over wasted time. Happy New Year and thank you for all your nice comments on my blog.

While I had my dad a bit longer than you did there isnt a day that doesnt go by that I dont wish I had just one more day with him. I miss him so much (he has been gone for three years) But we all need an occasional reminder to stop and smell the roses (or throw a beach ball) now and then so thanks for that.

I am thinking of Alexandra and Graham who are dealing with losing their hero, their daddy this August. The time they spent with him is something I know they will never regret. I know that when they are able, they too will remember the sweet times without it hurting so much. <br />We spent our time with him, as he declined. Often there were no words. Just a touch, and that was all we needed. That was all he needed. I am so grateful for that. <br />Thank you for taking your time to share today. It truly does matter.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768977559555385423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-15659296272016642892011-12-31T10:14:54.335-08:002011-12-31T10:14:54.335-08:00Kathysue, I read every word and am sitting here wi...Kathysue, I read every word and am sitting here with tears in my eyes.
