Did you wish your late parent had said something more to you before they passed?

My dad was diagnosed just this January with aggressive Lymphoma. He passed one month later. It was devastating because we barely got any time. I'm grateful though we did have a few weeks where he was coherent, and we still could watch a show together (half a show, b/c he was too weak and would fall asleep), or just talk about the news of the world.
I told him that I'd always be with him, that I was always with him, and he with me. And I'd hold his hand, and say everything is Ok. He was able to hold my hand back, and even several days before he passed he was able to say "Love you" when I was leaving.

But he didn't share anything about his spirit still being with ME, or how he'd not truly be leaving me, or really anything about me in those last weeks. I know that he really didn't share much even when he was well, like any sentiments about me, or advice for my future. So I guess when he was feeling so weak, it wasn't going to be a time, it would likely occur. But I think he would have once, if he had been more open with feelings overall , when he was well. I just did long for him to tell me it's going to be ok.... or advice about the future. :(

I'm glad we got to hold hands however, and I know he was grateful for us being with him. I do miss him, and I talk to him daily. He watched me suffer however as a kid, under my mom's abhorrent sadistic abuse, and never would tell her to stop. Laughed at me crying once too. But, at least I could talk to him occasionally, whereas I could never with my 'mom'. We were never close but during his last year in his nursing home, we did bond more. I long for him to have said something more those last days, but I'll always love him still. 🩵
Did you ever feel this way?
