Limecat's Friday Fun

[RunnerGirl]

I don't think that I would go back at all. Live and learn and move forward.
But if I had to, I think I'd go back to high school. With the self esteem, etc that I have now. You know not following the crowd and totally being myself.

Probably 8th grade. I was a twirler and was *all that!* I discovered that I loved performing in front of an audience and that standing ovations were awesome. The school had not seen good twirling the two years I had been there so our year, we were quite popular at pep rallies. Then again, I had some great times in high school too. No wait, maybe my year after high school when I dated about 47 hours a day Yeah, that was fun.

I would go back about eight years ago at Christmas when I met my fantastic husband! We have had a blast ever since! It has been the most wonderful years of my life!

I think I would go back to my oldest DD first year. Becoming a SAHM with my first baby was just heavenly! It was pretty easy most of the time, super fun just watching her do new things, loving her and kissing her with no other distractions! Even changing her little diapers was fun!

I would go back and relive the last year with my mother. I miss her and often wish I had just one more day with her. I would hold her so tight

This past year sucked for me, flat out. Were it not for my awesome hell of an SO I would have had a meltdown. However, if I could relive it with that I know now I would spend some quality time with Danielle rather than being in denial about her cancer.

i was very unhappy until i was 35 so, i definitely dont want to relive any of that.....if i had to pick one i have already lived, it would be last year because my SO and i moved to california, and i got to ski every weekend i wanted to.....i am planning that this next year is so great that i want to relive it, if that counts...

As a do over, I might go back to my years as a DINK and rethink having any kids. I'm not sure what life would be like without a special needs son or grandson, but sometimes I think I'd like to give it try.[/QUOTE]

Robin,
I know how painful that must have been to write. I sometimes wonder the same thing. And always feel guilty for thinking it. It's just soooooo hard sometimes.

Wow! That is a great lesson for us all! Your post made me hug everyone I love a little tighter today! Thank you!

Great question, Shells!

Robin and Ellie, (((hugs))) to both of you. Although I can't really understand what it's like for you, my heart goes out to you both.

Beavs, (((hugs))) to you too. And Cynthia. And everyone else!

As for me, I would go back to 1994, convince my (now) DH to put off his medical residency for a year, and spend the year traveling with him and his sister, who died in 1995. *sigh*

Want to come back to this and apologize. I'm sorry I bumped without looking. I feel like I made light of a thread that, when I re-read it, brought tears to my eyes.

Beavs, I know how tough it's been for you and I'm so sorry. Robin and Elliemom-wow...now that's brave. And Cynthia & Jodi, they say that time heals a lot of things, but those losses can still feel fresh even after years, can't they. ((((hugs)))) to all of you.

 

[jodijodi]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I was not offended by your post. It is a great question!
