I would not change anything

Once again, I find myself here, fulfilling the weekend commitment, as always I come across interesting questions, I guess that's what keeps me coming back every week, this week I will expand my answers to more than one of the selection, as I believe that all my answers come to the same meaning of all of them.

It is difficult for me to give a concrete answer to any of these questions, as I think my life has been as it should be since the beginning, so to start with I would not go back in any particular moment of time, as I would not like to lose my life now, even with its ups and downs I like it as it is, I have a beautiful family that I would not change for anything.

Nor would I like to stop time at any time in my life, neither past nor future, I think I should go all my way as it goes at the same speed, stop time would involve many losses, I want the years to pass as they go, see my daughter grow up and my children if I have more in the future, I want to live each of their birthdays, see her grow, leave the nest, have grandchildren, I think that every part of life, even death has its certain beauty.

I would not advance the time either, to advance a year of life, implies to stop living 365 days, and life is too short to miss those days, you will never remember them, even Adam Sandler's movie, Click: Losing Control, has a great message in it, there the main character skips so many stages and years to advance the time, and in the end he ends up regretting it.

Fast or slow

Maybe at some point in my life I wished I had that gift, a few years ago I lost my mother to cancer, it was the most painful 8 months of my life, watching her die day by day and nothing could be done because she already had advanced metastasis, the doctor simply told me that there were only a few months left and that it was inevitable, so at that moment I think I would have done the time faster, maybe it sounds unfair, but cancer is a disease that ends not only a life but all those around, I had to see my mother suffer all that time, and I think it would have been merciful at that time to bring it forward and make her pain brief, and on the other hand the last week of my mother's life, was when she was calmer, she no longer felt the pain and one day before she died I think it was the most bearable day she had, I would say that she had a brief improvement before she died, so I would have made those last 24 hours slow, maybe have a longer time to hug her, feed her and say goodbye to her with more time, before that sudden collapse, but in the end things happened as they should be.

In short, I think that if I had one of those options I would have used the last one, I don't want to change anything that happened in my past and I don't want to know what the future holds for me, I want to keep living each day, enjoying the good and the bad, and looking forward to every day.

Without further ado I say goodbye friends, until next time.
