When was the last time you felt guilt about something, as in that emotional pit you noticeably feel in your stomach when you have done something wrong towards someone? (lemmy.ml)

Best friend from high school cut me loose after my divorce. We haven't had any contact in 20+ years. Not long ago I randomly ran across an obit where his mom died. Considered sending something to his dad since his folks were always nice to me. Probably should have done but I wussed out. Hope his dad is doing ok. Feels bad, man.

You can still send a "Hey thinking about you, thanks for being nice to me growing up.".

The second best time is right now and all that.

You're right, of course. It's kind of a can of worms, though.

And...dudes parent died. Screw the worms, that was over 20 years ago.
