What's this?

Good on ya! I still miss my folks. I saw them regularly until they died->

I was always there for them and made sure they knew how much i loved them..

STILL, when they were gone, I second guessed myself a bit (still do). Did I go by enough? How about all those times I COULD have gone by and didn't (they were local)? I could have been more patient, as they were very old and doing the best they could. I honestly think that in some odd way, I "resented" the fact they were going down and their time was limited. Thing is, I did my best too, and they always knew it. I don't beat myself up, because there is no need to; that doesn't stop the occasional second guessing.

So YEAH.....enjoy them while you have them, no matter the condition they are in.
