It could have been different.....but it wasn't.....that doesn't mean we can't be wise enough even years later to make different choices that don't change the past but certainly change our future. This summarizes my whole life & also where I am today.....finally with a happy life surrounded by friends I never had before 2100 miles away from that past life. It was a HUGE step for me & my dog to take alone but it was the best choice & it did change the final outcome from the bad choice I had made 33 years before
