Back in time...........

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I f I could go back in time, I would return to the moment where a vet told me that is was to early to put Sydney on medication! He died 4 months later... . I would INSIST on giving him the meds!! Maybe, maybe he would still be my big black boy then...

The only thing I would ever go back to change would be for me to tell my father to go have his heart checked out by a specialist. If he had been on the proper medication, diet, and exercise program, he might still be alive.

I wish I had been more appreciative of the things my parents did for me growing up. I wish I could tell my dad "thank you" for all that he sacrificied to get my brother and myself where we are today. I wish I could give him a hug and have a conversation with him as I am now. In my memories, we will always have a child/parent relationship. I would like to discuss with him those issues that one sees as they get older and get his opinion on them. I would have liked him to be there when I graduated from college, got married, etc. but I know we will be together again someday.

There are many choices I would make differently given the chance, but I really do believe I did the best that I could at the time, knowing what I knew then. Miss Z is right, your highs and lows are what contribute to making you a better person, if you strive for that.

In light of what others have said, I too want to say that I wish I would have let the important people in my life know how very much they meant to me and let my actions have indicated that to them. My grandfather is the one I would really love to shower with kindness and consideration.
