I still live with regrets that I visited the town my mom lived in about four months before she died and didn't make a point of seeing her. That would have been the last time I would have seen her. (We lived about 800 miles from where I lived at the time. I visited her town on business for just three days.)
Paul, I know those thoughts. And as I read your words, it's clear that you've thought this through (short time in town, scheduled for your work, not actively or predictably dying). But there's a distance from what we understand and what we wish. Right?

That is one of those situations where I live with the regret, even though I know it’s not really something that I should be hard with myself on.
