life is too short to live in regret

Why are we always late in understanding that life could be taken away from us in a blink of an eye. I found that out this weekend, my grandfather was so sick as it was then that I realized I could lose him for a second. My grandfather had a minor stroke last week and that was when I saw that I could lose my grandfather and I could never have him back. In today’s world many people do not know what they could lose. Many people take everything for granted and that is one thing many should not do because you could lose someone and you could never have the chance to say goodbye. My grandfather was the type that he has always been strong. Everyone that new him though that he was never going to die, he is 75 years old and he was so strong he did everything himself, he still worked at that age, and when this week happened people actually saw that his age is catching up to him.

One thing that many people need to know is that you can never underestimate a person. I did that with my grandfather, I always though he would be the same always and now that I see him he could hardly eat himself. He needs a assistant for everything. When you have an event like this it always makes you think about everything. That is what happened to me, when I see him I hug and kiss him all the time. Before this I just used to hi and that is it, but now I now that I could lose him at anytime. Many people who have relatives and they really do not show how much they care for them, and take them for granted you should know that when they are gone you could never get them back. You can not get wake up and say I want to see my grandfather, and poof he is there. Life sadly does not work like that. I have always heard people say over and over that they wish they had just a little more time, even though we always want them, and have time with them, we should never regret what we said to them or what we have not said to them, because we could never have the chance again. Live is too short to live in regret. ( http://media.www.dailycollegian.com/media/storage/paper874/news/2005/03/28/Opinion/Never.Live.To.Regret.The.Past-1558827.shtml )
