[RTR...USN (ret)]

#1 I’ll agree with ODD on this one.
#2 I missed a lot making a living for my kids. I wish I could have spent more time with them when they were young.
#3 I’m not sure I’d change anything. Our collective experiences, warts and all are what make us who we are today.

#1. Wife and kids

#2. When I hurt others.........(becoming a Cubs fan might be a close second.....thanks WGN and Harry Carry)

#3. Marilyn.... or if I can’t do her again I’d say childhood to 17 ..... I had a lot of fun and little responsibility!

My mom could probably chew off y'alls' ears, lord knows she has mine.

She would take Deathroll to school.

 

[Big 8 Rules]

1. Wife and kid, but especially the wife because I wanted my daughter to see how she she should expect to be treated as an equal in any relationship. I hit the jackpot marrying at 21. Soooo much can go wrong at that early age, and it was just dumb luck on my part

2. I know my mom and dad loved me and I know they’d be proud of me, but I didn’t put nearly enough effort into getting to know them. Not even close.

3.See #2. I’d fix that in a heartbeat. I’d know everything about my mom’s life growing up in pre-war England and what The Blitz was like. My dad was in the OSS and parachuted behind enemy lines, attacked Nazis, collaborated with French Resistance, and came home with a beautiful English war bride. Now they’re decades gone and there’s so much I want to ask them. So much wasted opportunity.

#3 is spot on.

1. Family/Kids/Education
2. Not making an effort to develop life long friendships
3. I would have rejoined the military after Dental School. I miss it and it would have been less stressful than running a business

 

[G]

1- Family and Faith
2 - not enough time with Mom and Dad, not being able to help Amira
3- to change anything would mean changing potentially every outcome in life to date, so nothing
