June 10, 2006. My husband and I would not have gone to Portland, but stayed home and went to the movies with our daughter. Then my daughter wouldn't have suffered her TBI and we wouldn't have lost her.

I discussed this very thing with a friend of mine. I told him that I wanted a 'do-over' in life. To start, I would never have married my ex regardless of the pressure put on me by both families. He is a no-good abusive bully. I would have majored in something in college that I CHOSE...not what he chose. I would have lived my life so differently. But since I was weak and not strong enough to stand up to people in my life and say NO...I wasted years that cannot be taken back so NOW I choose what I want to do in life. I've learned to be strong and say no to people. I enjoy life as much as possible. But, if money were not an issue I would open a quilt shop and spend my days helping others learn to enjoy the art. I think most of us can think of one 'pivotal' event in life that we wish we could change, but life is precious and we cannot recapture the lost time so we must not look back but look forward and live life to the fullest. I like the saying that we cannot take back the words once spoken, the stone once thrown, or take back wasted time so we must be wiser and more careful in the future.
