2. I had to make some hard choices...

...last summer, but this I regret.

I'll get some vacation time around June/July. I'm going back then. Til then, I'll have pictures.

3. My Dad always said, "You gotta do what ya gotta do."...

Dad's getting up in age. I couldn't be with him for the holidays. He was extremely disappointed (no more than myself).

But he said again, "You gotta do what you gotta do."

5. You gotta do what you gotta do...

It may suck today, but you may not be able to be there for your family in the future if you don't do what needs to be done today.

7. My dear From The Ashes...

Of course you feel bad...

But you have commitments where you are, and those come first...

Pictures will just have to do until you can visit...

And just think how joyful that visit will be!

:hug:

8. It's my one regret...

...when I left Ohio, I knew the chances of being there for the 'big day' were practically non existent. But I left anyway. I did this to myself. All I can do is look at my cell phone and think 'Ring, damn you! RING!'

9. You did what you had to do for YOURSELF...

And that has to come first!

Regrets are poisonous...

After all, consider where you'd be if you'd stayed...

No job, and the pain would be much worse too...

You done good, sweetie, by leaving...
