I wish I had thanked my parents more frequently, before they died, for the wonderful way they raised me & my siblings without much of the modern gadgetry we now take for granted.

Teardrops for Julie......but changes are made everyday and tomorrow may see a breakthrough,,,,,,xxx,



I dont have any regrets as other paths may not have landed me where I am today.......I often go over what ifs but its only fleeting......

I' d like to thank everyone for their replies. I'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with them but I must admit that most people seem quite happy with their lot and don't have huge regrets? Mind you there a number that I can sympathize with.
Once again thanks for your replies.

not becoming a journalist - which I always wanted to be :-(

but having said that, all in all I've been lucky in life - super Mum and Dad, lovely husband, sadly no longer with me, lovely son and great daughter in law and good friends - oh, and good health which is most important

No! I don't feel sorry about anything, not the good things people have done to me, not the bad things, it's all the same to me.

No, I have no regrets.

@Porkie Pie - Roy.

Sorry you have misunderstood the point of what I posted. I suppose what I said didn't quite link in with your reply to the question of the O.P. But I can only repeat that my regret will be now and at my moment of death the answer I gave above.

Hey Rambling Rose and Uzzie , I agree , so what is it that stops us now - is it the fact that the people we would like to tell these truths to are so important to us that we don't want to hurt them or we don't want to be regarded as ogres. I would much prefer the hear a truthful opinion from someone that knows me than a load of lies just because they think that is something I want to hear.

@ PorkiePie

Not quite everything but something that may have in some way avoided tragic circumstances because I didn't want it to look that I was 'poking my nose in'.
This will never, ever hold me back in future from voicing my thoughts in situations that I feel need intervention rightly or wrongly - I would rather be un popular than stand aside and do nothing.

Unfortunately I am that ' what if type' big time. :-(
