The only thing I would ever go back to change would be for me to tell my father to go have his heart checked out by a specialist. If he had been on the proper medication, diet, and exercise program, he might still be alive.

I wish I had been more appreciative of the things my parents did for me growing up. I wish I could tell my dad "thank you" for all that he sacrificied to get my brother and myself where we are today. I wish I could give him a hug and have a conversation with him as I am now. In my memories, we will always have a child/parent relationship. I would like to discuss with him those issues that one sees as they get older and get his opinion on them. I would have liked him to be there when I graduated from college, got married, etc. but I know we will be together again someday.
