Grandpa's Regrets and Struggles
Summary
My Grandpa's regrets and his life.
"What's your biggest regret?"
"Not taking better care of myself when I was younger, now I'm on oxygen full time and take 12 to 15 pills a day just to stay in poor health and getting worse every day. Every night, I lay awake and think about all the stuff I want to do then I wake up the next morning, and my body tells me what do you think you're doing? You're in no shape to do anything! All I know is work, I worked from 15 years old till 65, 10 hours a day 6 days a week building houses. On my mother's deathbed, she made me promise to keep going, and I have for the past 24 years, but it's only a matter of time until I'm home."
