I can tell you what I *don’t* regret.
My father and I had a conflicted relationship.
It never got fixed.
I and he tried several times. It didn’t work.
I tried again when it became clear he was dying.
I still felt a lot of strong negative emotions when he passed, but being able to tell myself that I *tried* my best to fix things before he went took a noticeable edge off of the pain.
He’s still alive, but we went on one trip together every year until he got too old for it. We talk/text/email regularly. I visit him every couple of months at a minimum and bring a 6 pack of some weird craft beer for us to try. I don’t expect to have any regrets, but I’ll surely wish we had more time.
