As my grandfather lay dying in a hospital bed he said, "I wish I had been a nicer person".

I'm glad you figured this out with time to make adjustments and I hope that it brings you a smile in your final days.

I did lol @ Final Days. He's 47!
That's relating to GP's anecdote about his own grandfather's 'final days', who regretted not doing so - i.e. may GGP not have such regret when the time comes.
Sorry, I meant that he can be nice for years and then he can smile when those final days do come. I didn’t mean he’s in his final days. :)
It's a koan
It brings me nothing but good experiences already, and I for sure will smile at the end of my days here on earth knowing I at least for some time had a positive impact on others.
