Rock, Talk, and Get Rid of Regrets

I love my pictures of Millie.

 

They are some of my most treasured possessions.

 

I also love the memories of my other children’s growing up years.

 

Some days the pictures bring me such joy. They fill my heart with precious memories of days gone past. They also make me sad. I also look at them with regrets. “Why did I leave that day?” “What was more important than time with my people?” “What I wouldn’t give to reclaim one day” and the one that plays on repeat, “how could this of happened to us?”

Bittersweet memories that I wouldn’t change but would in a heartbeat. Words left unsaid, things left undone, wasted moments of precious time all haunt my thoughts.

 

You might say don’t regret what was left undone—but you would too.

 

You could encourage me to remember what I have to be grateful for, yes I do that daily.

 

You might just think you would feel the same way?  So true! I believe anyone who has loved a child would feel this way.

 

The truth is we are not ever promised another day, yet everyone of us takes for granted we will be given one.

As you look back over your life, what do you regret the most?  Right now, how can you take that regret and turn it into an action that will keep more regret from happening?  For me, it is going to sit with my son.  He has asked for ‘Millie time’, sitting and looking at her pictures together, reminiscing of the past.  He won’t always ask for this.  As an adult, he will be busy living life, not snuggled up next to mama for comfort. 

 

So today, I rock, talk, and get rid of regrets.

 

 

~Because of Millie~

 

 

Blessings sweet friends…
