My grandmother of 75 had a stroke two years ago that left it hard for her to walk, and she recently fell and broke her pelvis and hip. I haven't visited or called her once.

My grandfather of 82 is very lonely with my grandmother being in rehab, after seeing her everyday for 50+ years. I haven't visited him or called.

My Father is in declining health due to chugging pepsi constantly and smoking cigarettes, I try to get him to stop for his health but I dont try hard enough.

My friends ask me to go out constantly and I never can due to not having money even though I work full time. When I do go out with them, I just feel like I am a burden and end up going home.

Reading these comments makes me sad that so many people value the time they spend with their loved ones, yet for whatever reason I just don't take the advice of 'being with your loved ones while you can'

It makes me sad that I am not half the man I wanted to be by this age. Maybe I don't visit them or try hard enough because I am afraid of dissapointing them. Maybe I am just an asshole. But I want to get better.
