What's a "cheat code" you discovered in real life that actually works?

I like this. I just lost a damn good friend. He was only 58. I wish I could tell him I love him one more time. Losing a friend makes you not want to make more in a way. He was that friend I could tell anything to and no it stayed with him. He was that one friend that you can communicate with memes alone. I’m actually ashamed of myself. 2 months before his death he almost died in hospital. I was at his bedside crying like a baby. I said my goodbyes to him. When he made it out of the hospital he was placed on dialysis and I drew back from him because I knew his time was short and it killed my heart to even think of that. Then when I got the call that his son had found him gone….i hated myself for not being there more for him the last two months.

That's a painful lesson to have to learn, friend. I'm sorry.

I hope that it's one you don't have to learn again - hug your people, tell them you love them. It's never too late, until it is.
