I’m with you Gpa, going on 16 years myself, I too have regrets of momentary hesitation. Those small changes would have made all the difference

Weeping quietly at my desk at work. It's okay, not like they didn't know I wasn't working..

So he's a grandpa. How does the mother of his kid(s) feel about this video?

This is so sad... and makes me realize life is short... too shirt sometimes... grab oppertunities, got for them. And make sure you make the most out of them. Live. Your. Life.

Confessing is hard, and everything that comes aftrer is even harder, but if you even have the slightest confidence that you love that person. Tell them... even if it doesnt work out. Try to remain friends. But sometimes... life gets too short, and regret is worse than something turning into a memory.

Regret is way worse.

I don't want to snow on his parade, but shit comes up after 5-10-20 years, it's easy to romanticise things in hindsight.
