Doing it over

You’d think, given the fact that I’d won the chance, that I’d have already had made up my mind on the when.
The truth was, I’d spent most of the last six weeks caring for my mother. I couldn’t exactly up and leave either, but if YOU had the chance to do it all over, wouldn’t you sieze the moment?
My mind was looping back on itself – so many things I wish I’d done differently – so many missed opportunities. Hindsight and all those OTHER cliches aside, I could see so many things I’d have done differently. So many conversations I’d have changed one word – one sharp, or not so sharp tone. One choice that took me futher from freedom – or one that brought me back to it. Things I couldn’t choose to change, but really….
What would you change?
