But, like others on here, I'm philosophical about my mistakes and paths not taken - the path you do take is the one that makes you who you are. I'm pretty happy with my life and am now with my soulmate (just a little later than I would have liked).
Agreed. I posted I would have waited thirty more seconds before going up that ladder; it cost me my career as a firefighter, 30 more seconds and I wouldn't have been in the path of that flashover, wouldn't have had endless knee surgeries to try and repair the damage...and I wouldn't have met my beloved and had the opportunity to spend the last 21 years together. Guess it all balances out the way it's supposed to.
