If there is someone you love and you think for a second that maybe you haven't made that clear to them, please tell them.

If you have any chance of being with them, take it.

I didn't, and I will regret it for the rest of my life.

I’m sorry @idareyouto

Do you want to talk about them? Flowers

Sorry to hear that OP. And thank you for the reminder to tell those we love exactly that.

Do you want to write down something that has happened. I find it helps even if it's not the whole story.

Sorry for your loss op 💐 Many of us would do some things differently if we could turn back time. If it would help, talk about it here. If you don't think that would help, hopefully your short message here will help someone else 💐

Thank you, but talking here doesn't help. It's too late.

I don't want it to be too late for someone else.

Good advise if you have fallen out with a loved one/close relative but totally inappropriate if it’s an ex who is in a happy marriage/relationship and you put the cat amongst the pidgins.
I’m definitely not someone who goes to bed without resolving a fight, but I will not be contacting someone I may carry a torch for just to make sure they are aware I have or had feelings for them.
I’ve recently had breast cancer and had to face my own mortality. The last thing I wanted to deal with is old lovers coming out of the woodwork professing undying love for me. They would definitely been shown the door. My priority was my immediate family.

People will have different views on that OP, but I agree with you.
