I was a “very busy, always working” daughter. When my mother suddenly died, I had neglected spending time with her and have regretted it now for almost 30 years. ...
DEAR ANNIE: I regret not visiting my mother enough when she was alive.
DEAR REGRET: Thank you for your honest, reflective letter. Hope that it helps others out there hug their loved ones a little closer and/or make that phone call or book that trip to visit Grandma or Grandpa. Please try to let yourself off the hook. You did the best you could, and from your letter, it sounds as if you had a wonderful mother, because you are a very thoughtful person.
I am now retired after working for 39 years as an engineer in a corporate world where the extroverts dominated. It also didn’t help that I was a female in a male-dominated profession. Partway through my career, I discovered Susan Cain’s book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking.” This book has been the most influential book I have ever read because it allowed me to accept myself for who I am and to realize that there are others like me.
