>>>*In every single one of our lives, there are things we regret, wish we could change.

I grew up having a Father that believed in work, he rose with the Sun and stopped when it went down. That never changed, not on weekends, ever.

The simple truth was that because he was a poor farmer, that lifestyle was a necessity if young hungy mouths were to be fed and clothed.

So my three brothers and I did the same, we were either in school or had chores, duties. Those were not requests from him.

I regreted not having had more time for family fun, trips, things like that. I saw my peers in town, their fathers all had jobs, thus time. I concede to wishing I could live more like that as a young man.

I remember him telling me many things, one statement struck home. He said, "We do not get to relive life so do the best you can the first time."

Remember the good times, those will always be more important than any others. Plus the end of this life is no end, something I am blessed to know as fact.......*EB
