Wow, I spent a long time last night reading this thread, and praying. I am among those of you who really can't think of anything I'd want to "do-over", but then, I have been incredibly blessed. I cried over many of your circumstances and continue to pray for my adult kids who are facing tough times. Someone posted this on Facebook recently and it really struck me:
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So, love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't.
And believe that everything happens for a reason...
if you get a chance - take it;
if it changes your life - let it.
Nobody said it would be easy...
They just promised it would be worth it."
God bless each of you who have had such a rough road. You deserve better.
