The decisions we made cannot be undone, so I try not to regret anything, and only be thankful for the positives that have resulted. I was hard work for my lovely parents, until I had my son and daughter, and was then able to appreciate their wisdom and repay them for their love and support. I married a wrong ‘un (ex husband since 1974) but have my two children and four granddaughters, so absolutely no regrets. Yes, how lovely it would be to spend time with my parents, two sisters and Nan in our very modest, but warm, welcoming home, with the cats too. I have serious concerns about the world now, although my parents and grandparents lived through two world wars!
