Damn, my dad had a stroke on Saturday night. Thankfully he got very prompt and first class medical treatment (Thanks NHS. Socialised medicine FTW) so the damage is fortunately very limited. I'm actually on my way to the hospital to see him now.
This is a great reminder to pick up the phone and tell your folks or anyone that matters to you that you love them. Everyone reading this should do that now if they can. You never know when it will be too late and you don't want those regrets.
- dome82 13y agoI agree. I was in the same situation one year ago with my father. Unfortunately, he passed away 3 weeks ago for lung cancer... If you can, you should say to the people you care about how much you love them. Time is limited, memories stay forever.
- nickbaum 13y agoSo true. My wife's dad passed away when she was in college. No one knows how long their parents will be around. I'm very lucky, my dad is 83 years old and doing great. The past few times I've gone to visit my parents, I've made a conscious effort to ask them a lot of questions about their life, and it's been incredibly rewarding. One thing led to another and now helping people record their family stories is what I do for a living (http://www.storyworth.com http://www.storyworth.com if you want to check it out).
