I'm Really Sorry That I Didn't...

Wrote this a while back and just ran across it...

I'm really sorry that I didn't go fishing more with my grandfather

I'm really sorry that I didn't sit on the floor and play with legos more with my kids

I'm really sorry that I didn't take the time to listen to my mother's anguish over my father's new wife

I'm really sorry that I didn't kiss my grandmother goodbye as I left her hospital bed the night she died

I'm really sorry that I didn't tell my dad again that I loved him before he had open heart surgery

I'm really sorry that I didn't step in when a friend was berating and belittling her child over some minor infraction

I'm really sorry that I didn't keep in touch more or offer more support to a friend who was nursing her mother through a devastating bout with cancer

I'm really sorry that I didn't eat every bit of chocolate I encountered in Perugia

I'm really sorry that I didn't do something wild on the Spanish steps

I'm really sorry that I didn't go up to the door of Leonardo DiCaprios villa when we passed it in Chianti

I'm really sorry that I didn't tell off the snooty waiter in Italy who insisted it was Italian tradition to order wine AFTER dinner, not before
