If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?
I would tell my father that I understand him, where he was coming from and admire what he did. (Sorry to be vague--he didn't abandon us physically--just emotionally--and he carries a lot of wounds that he just won't let heal.) The thing is, I HAVE said that--but I haven't felt understood. It's selfish, really, I'm still angry about some things--even though I understand them--and I really want him to understand and admire me. As he should. But he won't--at least not openly.
Now, putting up a straight face, the thing I would regret the most not having said is probably not saying how much I really loved or cared about my friends and family.
I haven't told my friends because they would hit me in the face saying "man that's so gay", and my family... well... I dunno.
I am up to date with my demons. Everybody who I am grateful to knows. I speak my mind and tell people how I feel. I usually walk the line of "brutal" honesty so folks know how I feel .
hmmm, that's a hard one. i think my greatest regret would be not telling someone how i feel. or not being able to say thank you to my friends and family for being there during all the hard times.
I would tell my son that, indeed, I am his father - and I would tell his sister, too. And I would apologize for all those worlds I destroyed, and all the Admirals I strangled...and apologize for the time I pushed Obi-Wan into that nest of Gundarks, and oh yeah find Sebulba and really make fun of him for losing that pod race, and......

"You see son, the secret of life is... Huuuurrrkkk-bleh..."
