I'm 89... I Need to Warn You About Something Before You Make My Mistake

Описание: #lifeadvice #lifelessons #over80

I'm 89 years old.

And I lost three and a half years with the woman I loved most.

Not because of betrayal.
Not because of tragedy.
Not because we stopped loving each other.

Because of pride.

We had a fight in 1998.
I don’t even remember what it was about.

But I remember the silence.

Weeks turned into months.
Months turned into years.
And we both waited for the other one to apologize first.

Then she was diagnosed with cancer.

And suddenly being “right” didn’t matter anymore.

But by then, the warmth was gone.
The connection was gone.
And time was almost gone.

She died 18 months later.

I was technically right, by the way.

And I would trade being right
for three and a half more years with her
in a heartbeat.

If you’re in a fight right now…
If you’re waiting for them to apologize first…

Stop.

Go to them.
Swallow your pride.
End it.

Because one day, it will be too late.

— Harold
