$hen and ow

If I knew what I know now then,

I would be a millionaire by now.

If you had told me I would get married

!nd have two children, I would have laughed.

If I had known I might become a statistic and be divorced before I1m thirty.

I might not have gotten married in the first place.

If I had any idea that being a mother meant eventually saying goodbye to them;

Hoping for the occasional phone call or letter, I would have held on a bit tighter.

"ut then again if you had told me that I would have to bury my child; who was killed in a

road accident, or watch another gradually fade away as cancer takes over her body I

wouldn1t have believed you. However if you had asked me then if I believe in second

chances and new beginnings, I would have said no. (ortunately for me I got a second

chance to do it again. I might be older now, but the man I am lying next to is the same

man I fell in love with all those years ago; when I made my vows to cherish and honor

him. $he man that loved me so much, he could not sign the divorce papers. He wanted to

try again. Who would have thought that from every bad thing comes some good.

My house is now filled with my grandchildren running around making noise.

If I knew what I know now, then I would have cherished every moment.
