I have had the good, the bad and the ugly in my life-the bad and the ugly lets me appreciate the good all the more. So if I changed something I would not be the person I am today and have the wonderful life I have

So sorry for your loss.
Sounds like you were a very special sister to her, being best friends, talking daily and being there for her when she needed you.
Maybe you can someday finish her pillow and when you are missing her terribly you can give the pillow a big hug.

I started working for a lawyer right out of high school. I married two yrs later and had our first son two yrs after.I wanted to keep on working but my DH needed me on the farm My boss came out to see me to try to have me come back to work for him but I couldn't. There weren't any babysitters in our area at that time either. Oh, well, we had some good times with our children because they were always with us!!!!!

I would have - finished my PhD, traveled more, married later, had more children, not listened to those who said I was the most stupid, ugly, useless person in the world.
BUT I did have - a fulfilling career, traveled world wide, wonderful marriage and children, and

My first marriage,2 kids..my second marriage 1 kid. wouldn't change that either..
in my heart and soul, i wanted to be an oncology nurse.
for me, a do-over would be something simple.
.like stopping to pray with someone,when i knew i should of..
Or making that phone call,when i felt i was supposed to.
or tell someone that i loved them when there was still time.
I couldn't have said the simple do-over better myself.
I didn't have the easiest life but I just pray that down the road if this question comes up again I haven't repeated the same simple do-overs. That I learn from my past mistakes.
