I hope one day to visit them - but I'm also realistic enough to know that there's not always time or inclination or travel freedom or energy to include all the people who want to be included into travel plans.

Especially family-type people. I'm sorry, both your former and friend and your father sound like hurtful experiences, although I'm glad that you got the chance to mend with your father before he passed.
