history: I was looking at old picture albums last night and found myself tearing up looking at the fun times from long ago. Sometimes revisiting the past is great for personal reflection. Maybe contact those people sometime. You're so right.  I did that this morning and called an elderly aunt.  We had the best conversation!
current: That's great! I bet she loved to hear your voice.
next: She did!  It really made my day too.  I wish I could go back and take the time to reach out more to my loved ones.
