 A life-changing day

I do not like to leave things for later, and that really changed my life. I am not talking about responsibilities, I am talking about the opportunity to help someone, to show love or just to enjoy every second of life. I learned this the hard way. Three years ago, I said: I will see you then; then my life changed. Those words were to my grandma when I rushed off to college forgetting to kiss her and tell her how much I loved her; without knowing that it was going to be the last time that I would see her alive. While I was in college, I received a call from my mom telling me to go to the hospital because my grandma had had a cardiac arrest. I went as fast as I could, and I could still see her; she seemed to be sleeping. Two hours later, she died. The only words that were in my mind were the ones I said to her before leaving the house. And no, I didn't see her afterwards. Since that day I have a feeling of guilt in my heart, which does not let me leave the house without first hugging and kissing my family as I should have done that day. It is incredible how in just one day my life and my way of appreciating it changed so much.
