After my Grandmother’s funeral on Friday, my father had a massive heart attack and died. I’m not really sure what else to say about it. It just came as a shock. The only good news I have is that I have no regrets with my father. Nothing I wished I had told him before he passed on. He got to visit us a few weeks ago and he was surrounded by family when he died. Also, it was quick. I am very grateful for our relationship and that there was nothing left unsaid, probably a benefit of a balanced life. If you are estranged from family members, take the time this Christmas to make amends, even if they are the ones who wronged you. Nothing is more disappointing than losing the chance to reconcile with a family member.
