Happy birthday, Mom. I was too busy chasing dollars, nights out, and a version of success I thought mattered. Somewhere along the way, I forgot what was really important. I wish I slowed down more. I wish I listened better. Life taught me the lesson too late, but you’re the reason I’m learning it now. I carry you with me every day.

Some days the smoke feels easier to sit in than the truth. We’re all blind to something by choice.

Wow, has it really been three years? It still doesn’t get any easier. Watching you take your last breath over FaceTime was the most helpless I’ve ever felt. I couldn’t hold your hand, couldn’t tell you I love you one last time. That moment has haunted me every single day since.
Regret has been my constant companion—what if I hadn’t sent you to Vietnam? What if I had called more often? These questions echo in my mind, slowly wearing away at me.
But deep down, I know you wouldn’t want me to keep beating myself up like this. You’d want me to forgive myself, to hold onto the love we shared—not the pain.
After today, I promise to finally let you go. I will forgive myself. And I will become the man you always wanted me to be—the man you believed I could become.
I carry your love with me, always.
I lost the only girl in the world that knows me best. In the next life, or after, and after I would always choose you to be my mom.

Sometimes, life feels like a collection of missed chances. Like those messages we draft but never send, or the conversations we rehearse but never have. There’s a certain beauty in the ‘what ifs,’ but they often leave us with a shadow of regret, lingering in the corners of our minds and hearts. But here’s the thing about missed chances - they teach us to be braver. To say ‘yes’ more often, to leap before looking (sometimes), and to never underestimate the power of taking that chance. So, let’s promise to embrace every opportunity, to live boldly, and to love fiercely. Because in the end, it’s not the chances we took that we regret, but the ones we didn’t.
