I've been very fortunate in my life, not many regrets. I've made my share of mistakes, but have never really dwelled on them. The one thing I do regret is not being there when my mother died. The whole family was at her house the morning she passed. We knew she was not doing well, but she was having a good day. I decided to go to the weight room to check on my team even though I was on vacation and had 5 coaches assigned to be there. I left abruptly to get there in time for the 11am workout. I just waved at her from across the room and said, see you later mom. Not 10 minutes after I got to the weight room my dad called. I rushed home and saw the ambulance leaving. I followed it, but she had passed by the time it got to the hospital. Her last words were, where are the boys? My dad and three brothes were there, I was in the freaking weight room! Never forgave myself, and honestly, I was never the same coach after that.

Yes,that's something a man definitely would be regretful over my brother,I never intended this thread to dredge up the pangs of hurtful lifelong regrets, but I got some shared empathy with you on that one,BIG-G.

wow gus, that is some story.

sometimes strange things happen but there is just nothing human beings can do about it. you can blame yourself for not being there, but it could well have been the grief you were facing that made you run off to the office... our mind works in strange ways, and there is really no way to second guess ourselves.

knowing the guy you are, i am sure you gave your mom a lot of love, fun and laughter. it is the body of work that matters. i am sure your mom feels that way in the ambulance and looking down at you now.

I owned a dot com era stock that went from 1.3 million in value to < 5k...all while I was in remote area out of the country and out of internet. This 16 years ago.

my friend who worked for a dot com startup watched as he shares went from $0.5M to $0.2M to $50k to ..., all because of long term capital gains tax. and many were screaming for him to sell...

Oh,Man!
That's something to mourn incessantly over ( I'm truly sorry for you after hearing that)
I remember that boom/ bust of the .com time,,,DFWJC,if able at the time ,when would've you attempted to sell /move it ?
Like when it's value dropped to one million?,,,
750k,,,? Believe it or not I'm interested in your hypothetical decision on this,,,,I'd flushed two million at one time in my life,that's when I'd quit drinking for awhile and put a C.D.L. in my back pocket as I knew I'd probably clean my ears out with a 12ga. were I to go knee deep in a scotch bottle at that time.
( hey,GANG!,,,THIS thread header sez' "SOMEWHAT"

My life’s biggest regret was not getting a post secondary degree or a skilled trade...

The last 23 years I worked as a school custodian, good pay, pension, good benefits...

The problem: is over the course of my 23 years there I developed neuropathy in my feet ... I had to go off on short term disability, now I’m on unpaid long term disability...I’m working on getting disability benefits...

It's not like it once was ,where a person could faithfully & diligently put in that amount of time in there life to an outfit or organization and be somewhat compensated after their working career with them is over,,,how old are you Lufkin?
I guess some of those single guys that are double dippers
( dudes who put in their 20 in the military/reserves& hire on with the postal service or similar) are coming out on the other side in pretty good shape financially.
