Lots of interesting questions. For me the really good bits include my children and my beautiful grandchildren who are all good friends even though one lot lives on the other side of the world.
Caring for my mother and enabling her to die at home as was her wish when dying of cancer in her 50s. Caring for my rather difficult father many years later to also be at home until a few weeks before his death.
Changing a very dysfunctional family pattern that had spanned many generations to support and enable all of the above to happen. Along the way I was also the first person in my family to finish secondary school, attend university and have a great professional career.
Lots of lovely travel. Meeting a lovely man in later life to share many things with.
Regrets, yes I've had a few. Marrying the wrong person too soon for the wrong reasons but we are still friends.
And as the old saying goes, after children, family and work, the full catastrophe as Zorba so succintly put it, I now have a garden and the time to enjoy the seasons, the colours of the light and time to read and think. Not too bad.
