Tonight, after waiting a bit to see if some of the adult Care For Life-related folk were coming over for FHE or not, and then holding a short one just with us young folk, I went to Ana Maria and Joaquim’s house to visit and say goodbye to them. It was a bit late for around here (around 8:30), but they were luckily still up (though the kids were a bit groggy), and we sat around talking and just enjoying each others’ company for a good time before I headed home. I’m glad I didn’t give up on visiting them just because it was a bit late—when I considered going tomorrow because of that, I felt a little nudge to go tonight, and I’m glad I did, because it was great being with them and I’m glad I was able to keep my word (I had told them I’d come by tonight). Moments like that, even if they are bittersweet because they’re goodbyes, are moments I wouldn’t want to let slide by.

Moments like that, from my experience, keep us from living without regret. You had an impression you should stop by, in spite of the late hour--you did it, and now, you'll never wonder. And, better yet, you have the memory of a beautiful evening with people you love. Rolf, you're doing all the right things.
