I wish I had taken life a little less seriously. I wish I had taken time to laugh with my mother. I wish I had hugged her more, held her hand, and said "I love you." I wish we had enjoyed more ice cream. I wish I had played make-believe instead of trying to explain. I wish I had taken time to smell the roses, to touch them as she did. I wish I had felt less anger and more love. It was over so soon. I wish I had realized life would feel so empty without her.
