Making It Right (update)
This post is a follow-up from Making It Right. If you haven’t read that one yet, please read it first before continuing. Thanks.
You know that song “Apologize?” I’m not going to lie – I can’t stand it. Other than the obvious reason (over-played), it’s because I hate the line “it’s too late to apologize.” What the crap? No, no, no. I totally disagree. It’s never too late to apologize. To apologize for something you’ve said or done, you have to put pride aside. It takes balls to say “I’m sorry” and I believe it’s never too late.
Well, sometimes there are exceptions…
I want to thank all of you who took the time to find Marjorie for me. I really appreciate your efforts. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to do so for many years. However, these latest efforts did produce a result. My friend Darlene found Marjorie on Wednesday night. It took a little research to confirm what she found, which is why I haven’t posted this update until now.
Marjorie passed away in 1999, just days before I married my husband. While I was planning the final details of my wedding, she was fighting for life in a hospital. I still don’t know exactly what claimed her life, but her obituary mentioned Hospice, so I assume it was probably cancer. I can’t begin to express my feelings about this news. The words “disappointment” and “regret” just don’t seem to do it justice right now.
In closing, sometimes it IS too late to apologize. If you’ve hurt someone, I urge you to make it right with them NOW. You never know when it will be too late.
Sad.
That’s a powerful lesson Lori. Thanks for being vulnerable and posting it.
Lori, I’m so sorry. I know this must have made you sad. But at least you put it out there. That took a lot.

She was adorable and you are a kind, wonderful woman. RIP Marjorie.
Oh, wow…
