If I Were Magically Granted a Do-Over Here’s One Thing I Would Change
Because I loved my baby girl
Prompted by estow76 (Esther) from an article where she asked herself this question:
What Would You Do Differently If Given The Opportunity To Go Back And Do It Over Again?
I would change everything I did in May of 1973.
I won’t say I am completely unhappy but many of my mistakes from that year are still following me around today and affecting my life.
Much of my unhappiness now is directly related to decisions I made or were made for me in May of 1973.
I’d like to go back to April of 1973 and get a do-over.
May 1973
I graduated from high school. That was a good thing.
In my Senior year, I had a boyfriend.
My parents kissed the ground my boyfriend walked on. He was a popular guy with an infectious personality. He replaced my brother who had joined the Army at 18 and moved away when he was discharged. He never got along with my dad who treated him like a plowboy on the farm.
