Hey guys Nancy contacted me yesterday, She is going to have another granddaughter. That just cant be possible, she was only a little girl when David and I got married. She would often go on rides with us, She was only like 5 years old. She loved her uncle David so much, Mama used to tell us, before I knew there was an us, That David was making that girl rotten, He would come home on leave and buy her anything she wanted, buy her whole bags of chips and just hand it to her, She never had to share. That really frustrated my Mom. As children We never got a whole anything. LOL
Now I can't be that old, for her to have grandchildren. Man how fast life goes by. Sometimes I think, "Am I almost 60"? That is not possible, my body feels it, my mind doesn't, that is except for my senior moments.
Grab on to every moment you can, if you think you made a mistake when younger, fix it. It is not too late.
One mistake I made, I think of often, I would go back to my high school years and finish school in my sheridan. I loved Sheridan High. I had gone to school with my friends for 11 years. But you can never go back, only forward so move forward. Your dad knows how I feel about that time in my life. He understands.
I missed out on so much by getting married between 11 and 12 grade. My senior prom, my graduation, My uncle said he would send me to UALR, but I guess I did not believe him. Would I have married your Dad again, IN a heartbeat. But I would have done it differently. I knew so little them, but hindsight is always better than foresight. I did not know he could get GI bill to go to school until we were married for 4 years, I did not know he could get a Vet loan to buy a house. We could have been set up pretty good for newly weds. But now I am too old to do all the things I could have done. NOne of you are too old, IF you want to go to school,GO!! If you want to teach by all means get out there nad get those credentials. When you are almost 60 you will have no regrets. Well actually you will, There are always things we could have done better or differently, Think! Each choice you make affects your entire life, good or bad. It is what you do with your choices that make you, or break you.
I did make a good choice when I met your Dad, He is without a doubt the best man in the universe. With the exception of my Sons and my Son in law. So you all are in that caregory together.
Anyway Make good choices, think about what you want to do and DO IT. It is not too late for you.
