I think I would have asked the waiter to send them a drink with a anonymous note attached that read "don't ever take her for granted"

[liyanayusof]

This is moving! How many people watched the video again to see if the future guy really was at the restaurant? 

[Crucis]

One of the best FlipSide's ever. Well done SoulPancake. WELL DONE.

[SoulPancake]

New FlipSide episode is up! If you could make a dinner reservation with your future self, would you? 

[JesterC]

In this scenario, I'd find a way to this message to my past self, "don't turn to the drink when things get rough."

[mksabourinable]

I think this saying have never been truer: Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. So in his position HELL NO. Yes she died, and yes it was painful, but they had (guesstimating here) like 20 years of happiness together, and he was there with her when she died, take that away and she might die alone. 

Either way, beautiful video :')

pack your bags, kids, we're going on a feels trip.

[Tomer]

If I'm meeting my past self, I'm gonna need some time to prepare a list.

Everybody that is crying is thinking about the flow of life. Thank you, FlipSide for igniting the emotions of mankind. And there is nothing, good or bad, that I would change about my past.

[ying_verse]

Kept trying to use my sleeve to wipe the tears but I think I've run out of dry sleeve space

[undead_corsair]

The FlipSide always leaves me speechless.

[wavchaser]

I've read a few stories like this before, but I can never seem to get tired of them.

[iTzKneecap]

This was probably my favourite Flipside. Eyes welled up a bit at the end.

[dandelionxxx]

Absolutely beautiful. I've always said I live my life with no regrets though as a 32 year old starving artist it's sometimes difficult to really live up to. This validated my feelings and strengthened my backbone regarding how strongly I realize "no regrets" is such an important part of my life. Thank you.

[pinkberrybear]

you guys need to stop making me cry every time i watch you

[natattacc]

I almost always cry during emotional Flipside videos, such as this one tempted me to;
I always reflect after thoughtful Flipside videos (so, basically, all of them);
I never forget the Flipside.
As to answer the question for this video:
the past changes the future--the present is rarely present.

[cupcakesrock]

This is amazing all of the flipsides should be one movie

[LynneSkysong]

Thanks FlipSide. Now when a new episode airs and I ask my fiance' to watch it with me, he says no. Then I watch it. Then I cry. Then I go hug him and tell him how much I love him and basically get to explain the episode and cry some more. #TrueStory

These videos remind me how incredibly lucky I am and at the same time remind me how fragile that happiness is.

[clubkaufman]

I would not change my past, but I would follow my younger self around. Maybe even documenting the travels and struggles.. It kind of reminds me of Slaughter House 5. Amazing book!

The key is not to avoid problems but how you deal with them.
