Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream. ~Euripides
When the acrimonious moment happened,
I wish I would have asked more questions,
I wish I would have texted you just one more time,
I wish I would have asked you what your plans were for the day,
I wish I would have said define that for me,
I wish I would have I would have called “M”,
I wish I would have given you a hug on Thursday,
I wish I would have reached out just one more time and not worried about honoring your personal space,
I wish I would have been a better friend.
But most of all,
I wish you were still here.

What a poignant post–pondering loss and regrets. We all have so many “I wish I would have…” moments. I’m sorry for your loss, Amy.
Thanks, Molly. I appreciate your kind words.
I feel your regret and your loss through your words. I wish you a sense of peace. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Melanie.
The finality of that last line…beautifully crafted post, Amy.
Thank you, Tara. The writing helps work through the emotions.
Your post really hit me. It is hard when there is a sudden loss in your life not to play the I wish game. Maybe you could now write the I am grateful for…
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable.
Christine, my posts this week will be me working through the emotions. I debated going here and yes I am being vulnerable.
Loss always seems to bring about the “I wish” and “Maybe if I had done” syndrome. I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Bob. The “I wishes” and “Should haves” loomed for a long time.
I feel your loss and your pain. I am sorry.
Thank you!
Your words tug on my heart on so many levels. I am so very sorry for your loss. I am also thankful for your words. Your reflection will steer paths.
Thank you for your kind words. I was hesitant about sharing this post and the others I have planned for this week, but the ball is already in motion.
