No Regrets
Last night I was watching Countdown to Ground Zero on the History Channel. Damn - it kicked my ass all over again.
But while I was watching that day unfold a thought kept coming to me. Over and over again. Were they ready?
Oh - I fully realize you're never READY for something like that but - did they make sure that the people in their lives KNEW they mattered? Had they had the chance to say I love you? Were they ready?
Losing so many family and friends starting at an early age, that whole "no regrets" thing is really strong in our family. I learned that the morning Daddy came and said good-bye to my sister and I before he left. I learned that when 2 of my friends died in a horrible traffic accident when I was 14. And then again that same afternoon when another friend was murdered. I've learned it over and over and over again.
Don't leave things unsaid. Don't leave things undone. It's not fair. It's not fair to you or your loved ones.
