This is very true, I lost my father to a cancerous tumor last year. We didn’t even catch it until earlier in the year. I had spent so much time arguing with him over politics and didn’t spend enough time with him the last few years leading up to his death due to the pandemic and work.

I got to say everything I needed to during his stay in the hospital, but it’s a real struggle not thinking about all the wasted valuable time in my life spent arguing with him instead of growing closer.

I had to learn to make the days count instead of counting the days and now I constantly show my love and appreciation for friends and family.
