Regrets

Tweet

Jon, 93, said that his only real regret in life, is that he had never been in love. Not REAL love. He had three wives, and was married to none of them more than a few years, so he said that pretty much proved his point. He never had children, and only once had a dog that he named Spot because he didn't really care enough to come up with an original name. Spot stayed around longer than any of the wives, but dogs are loyal like that. They don't care if you cheat on them, as long as you come home. It's not likely he'll find love now. --- Sophie, 78, regrets that she never learned to do the Tango, and that she didn't kiss Harris B on the lips that night when he dropped her off. He never called her again, and she's sure that's why. She later married, and had children and "Tons of grandchildren". She hardly ever sees them though because they all live so far away. Some of the grandchildren she has never even met. She still has time. That's what we all think. --- Franklin, 54, regrets not spending more time with his wife before she got ill. He loved her, but paid more attention to his job. The job that he got fired from for having to stay with her so much in the hospital. Yeah, that job. He now works as little as he can and spends the rest of his time trying to drink away his sorrow. --- Blaise, 7, only regrets that he most likely won't have a double digit birthday party. He says if he makes it to the big one-oh, he will be content. You see, Blaise has always had leukemia. He doesn't know any other life, and he has made the best out of every single day. He loves, and he is loved. --- No matter how old we are, let us not be a Jon, Sophie, or Franklin. Let's be a Blaise, and embrace life while we're living it. We are never promised tomorrow.
