What if mom and dad had only 11 children? Who might be missing and who might have been someone else?
What if priests were all loving, kind and christian? What strengths of character might be missing?
What if I hadn't been pregnant before I got married? Can you imagine the world without him?
What if I hadn't had 4 kids? Can you imagine how immature I would still be?
What if I had chosen not to learn from my kids? See above...
What if I didn't believe in love enough to try again, and again? I can't and don't want to imagine a world without love.
What if I had never learned to see dogs except through the eyes of my dad? My girls would be elsewhere! (or not!)
What if the fat lady croaks and the lady (god forbid) lives on? Wow, I think I am gonna try it!
Thank you all for being exactly what I need and more! elly
"I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself, You can't wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like, What if I just didn't send such negative messages to my brain and said, wear it and enjoy it? And now I'm more comfortable in clothes than ever." Drew Barrymore
This is the best post you've ever written!! I am tempted to answer all your questions but of course most of them are rhetorical. But i definitely need to tackle the first one. I can unequivocally guarantee that if our parents had a choice I would have been born to the neighbours! And don't try to take it away from me because i take great pride in the fact that I caused as much grief as any 2 others. The only reason i believe Im alive is cause the priests told dad it would be a bad thing to put me down like a dog. Then again the priests may have just been saving me up for themselves! Lmfao
