Feeling sadly nostalgic and missing friends and family far away, some incredibly far, waiting in heaven for our next visit. Sort of makes you want to kick yourself for not really spending enough time with them before they left. We've lost 3 this past year. Why didn't I call or write more often?
We don't like to think in "what if's". Running around worried that you might not get another chance, and life is very busy, too much going on, gotta rush, see you later. We always plan on seeing them, and then it is unfortunately too late.
I think that the solution is to always tell someone how much they mean to you every chance you get. Don't wait, make it a habit, but a sincere one that will still find you sad that they are gone, but also leave you knowing that you told them how much they mean to you often.
Make time. There will always be something with work, or shopping, housework, etc. A phone call won't break the bank. Make plans. Our elders were always there for us, and always ready to listen or bend our ears. Or you can make regret your byword.
There are things outside of our control, and it's frustrating. Unable to say goodbyes because of cost and distance, or illness. Or they knew but did not share how short their time was to spend with you. We cannot change these things. But we can..
Say "I love you. I'm thinking about you. How have you been? I miss you."
Merry Christmas to all I love in heaven and on earth.
