Anyone have any regrets from their past

I have tons of regrets, but I also have tons of other great things that came along as a result of the changes in my life BECAUSE OF THOSE REGRETS that I got to experience.

Only one regret that still bothers me a bit on a regular basis: I feel like I should have married an old girlfriend who died from leukemia at the age of 30. She loved me with all her heart and I told her I wasn't really sure if she was the right one for me. She was beautiful and had a young daughter too, whose dad was a true piece of ****. She got diagnosed about a month after I broke it off with her and we remained friends til the end but she didn't want me to come back to her only because she was sick. Sitting with her daughter and all of her family at her funeral was the hardest thing I have ever went through even though they all treated me great and told me how much they all loved me for the time I spent with her and how happy I had made her before she got sick. I can't even begin to describe the level of guilt I still feel from time to time. More like I feel like I was too selfish perhaps. The young girls dad eventually signed over his rights as a parent to my girlfriend's parents who ended up raising her in a very loving home.

There you have it... That was back in 2001.

having feelings of guilt just indicates your character, your good character. perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. having close friends is what life is about, be they men or women. you were close friends.
many years ago I had a girl I dated few times, we were friends. a beautiful person, inside and out. easy to tell. but I was trying to get thru college, the war loomed on, had no money to date.
she married and was living in Africa ( of all place). of of the blue, dies at age 35, no autopsy, husband immediately had her remains cremated. her dad was BIG believer is life insurance for all the family. all very suspicious.
I still think to this day, I made a huge mistake in not pursuing her. I too have guilt feelings every time I think of her, which is often. maybe I shouldn't , but I do. maybe it was God plan??
