On your deathbed, what do you think you will regret?

Not being able to work things out with my siblings. I hope that will be the only regret I have.

Probably the self-inflicted lung cancer or liver failure.

Regrets? There are many. If I have to pick up one, then it will be the moment when I lost one of my beloved friends, not physically, but mentally.

Not standing up more and letting people bring me down and dash my hopes.

I try to make my choices in life such that I am doing the thing I believe is most important to do at all times. I know the reasons for my choices, and I don’t, generally, second guess them.

But there was one woman, and I wish I hadn’t been so afraid. She was beautiful. She was crazy. We spent the night lying side by side in the same bed, at her invitation. I had a huge crush on her.

Why, oh why did I never try to touch her?

At this moment, I have just canceled what would have been a very enjoyable luncheon date in order to take Milo to the vet’s (a very long drive) for his apparent constipation. I know what the treatment will probably entail

Since his arrival, I am both a nicer and kinder person, which leaves me with very few regrets now.

It’s a good thing, since I am at an age where I could possibly wake up dead any morning.

Dying.

Not having been able to make my first marriage work. Having been a bit too hard on my children as they grew up ( although now they all thank me for having been stern with them… go figure! ). Having allowed myself to be placed in the position of having to kill. Not having told nearly enough people to kiss my ass! : )

That I hurt the people I hurt ,even though it wasn’t on purpose. I should have thought things through more conscientiously.

I think one of my most profound regrets will be that I never had children of my own. I’m too far along in life to be having and raising children now but that’s the choice I made and I will live with it.

Mainly the people I have hurt. But that tips over into self hate and loathing.

Probably not being a better mother to my daughters. I do the best I can, but I often feel lacking in that area.

I think I’ll regret that I never accomplished all of my dreams that I wanted to have, that would probably be my biggest regret.

Garfield, maybe . . .

I’d regret not waiting to be born in the future when they have the technology to stop aging.

I’ll regret any frequent flier miles that I have accumulated but haven’t used by that point.

mmmmmMMMMMMmmmmmmm….frequent flyer miles….

Not being a better mother when my kids were little and not being a better wife to my husband.

I’ll regret all the time I wasted online.

I’ll think about that when I get there. I’ll get back to you, in ghost form.
