Spend quality time with your parents (assuming you're on good terms of course).

I lost my dad when I was 30, after a short and unexpected illness, and I regret not spending much more time with him when I could have.

This hit me like a truck. I lost my father at the beginning of the month due to some tragedy that occurred.

We weren't on speaking terms (a decision I made), but I'd always planned to one day see if I could turn things around, which will never happen now. Never in a million years would I ever have expected it to come down to this.

Aw mate... I'm so so sorry 😔

That's a really hard situation, and I hope you're doing ok. Take care.
