I've been thinking about something. You hear in media all the time about how when a person is gone, it's the small things you miss the most, like just having a meal with them, watching tv and whatnot. That is absolutely true but there is something else.

There's the small plans. How sometimes you hear a song or see a movie and think "I think that person would like this, I should show it to them" or how you randomly come up with a question you want to ask them. Then next time you see them, you don't, because you didn't find the perfect chance to do so. Then next day they're gone, you're left with a mountain of topics you wanted to talk to them about, and you wonder why you didn't simply create your own chance to do it, even if it felt a little forced.

I think now that it's probably better to squeeze whatever's on your mind into the conversation while you are with them. It might be a bit awkward, but it'll probably lead to less regrets if something unfortunate happens. Especially if the person is already old or fighting an illness.
