Before they left, who did you want to say goodbye to but didn't or couldn't?

my daughter but I mostly regret not holding her before she passed away 1. of the reasons was cause I thought it would of been easier on me cause the doctors already told me she wasnt gonna make it cause I went into labor to early but the 2nd reason was I passed out right after I had her and when I woke up hours later I was told she passed away in my boyfriend arms but I'm glad he got to hold her and he said he didn't put her down . wow now I'm bout to start crying.

I would say my grandfathers.

One died completely unexpectedly. The last time I saw him was about two months before he died, so I felt like I didn't get to say goodbye. And I wouldn't go up to his casket at the wake, so I felt like I missed my chance.

And my other grandfather had cancer, so we knew it was coming. I saw him the day before he died, but he was in so much pain by the end that he wasn't lucid. He would talk to his grandparents who died before he even came to America. I don't think he even knew it was me; that's not how I wanted to say goodbye to him.

I wish I could have said goodbye to my sorority sister, who was killed in a car accident a year and a half ago. The last time I got to hang out with her, we were downtown for my 21st birthday. She was probably just as drunk as I was, and made the night so much fun. I wish I could have thanked her for everything at the end of that night, because she died a week later.

When I was 6, my uncle commited suicide. The thing I regret is that the last time I saw him was a week before that and he was chasing me down the sidewalk (we were just playing around) and he accidentaly stepped on my shoe and we both tripped and fell on the concrete but I stopped breathing. He called the ambulence and sat there and held me while we waited for it (I was still unconcience). He messed up his knee pretty ad but he refused treatment becuase he wanted all the medical care for me. After I gained back concienence (sorry about the spelling) he stayed log enough to see that I didn''t die and then he hopped in his car an speed off becuase he and anger problems and was mad at himself for what happend. That's the last time I saw him and I wish I could have told him it was ok before I left but I didn't have that chance. I never got to say goodbye.

This may sound a little funny.
But when I was 15 I was in mexico on a service project and tour.
it lasted two weeks, and on the flight stopover in toronto I talked to my mom and dad on the phone. I told them to say hi to my brother, my dog and my cat.
when I got home I found out my cat had died while I was in mexico.

maybe it seems kinda silly, but I was rally upset that my parents didn't tell me and that I wasnt there for my cat.
I still have weird feelings about "letting my cat down" cause I couldn't see him.

Thank god I haven't had a person die like that.
It'd be horrible!
