Oh boy, this hits a soft spot.
Person one: My mother. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most.
Person two: My son Tim. You were my rock and held me together when we were going thru your dad's illness.
Persons three thru five: My children. You are awesome adults. I am so proud of who you have become.

Day 23: Something you always think “what if…” about.
I like this question. We all have lots of "what-if's" in our life. This is my grandson's favorite thing to say, "Grandma, what if...." and comes up with the most imaginative things to play what if. I love it.
Mine would be what if I went to college? I was interested in teaching and should have gone to college but chose not to.
What if I had moved with my good friend after I graduated from high school to the "city" and shared an apartment together? As it is, I ended up living with my parents until I married (at 21) so I never experienced living on my own as a single person.
What if I married my childhood sweetheart? Where would I be now?
What if my husband and I had never moved to Alaska?
What if I followed my dreams without hesitation?
What if I had 19 children, and counting? :)
What if I were a millionaire?
What if I had been born in the 1860's? Something I find very interesting to think on. I always thought I was born too late. ;)
The list could go on forever, like my grandson's what-if's! LOL
Today's Quote: "A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can."
