I didnt get to say goodbye before my uncle passed away. He was like a dad to me.

He had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. A few weeks ago, my cousin messaged us one night to say he had a few days left if we wanted to see him. Very next day, we were supposed to be there at noon, but my husband got pulled into a big meeting at 1 and we pushed it to 2:30. To be fair my cousin said days so we thought it would be ok.

My biggest regret is that I should have gone without him. Around 1pm my mom texting me that we needed to come asap, so I told my husband to cancel his meeting and we hurried over. But he passed before we could make it in time. My mom opened the door for us and shook her head, and my uncle was gone. Found him in his favorite chair. If we got there at noon as planned, I would have at least been able to say goodbye and its been haunting me.
