Pick a time in your life...........

Recently I was involved in a conversation wherein

one suggested an age to which they would like to return.

As we began thinking and suggesting a time,

some were ages, some grades.

I choose a time in my life, by age.

I choose 27.

Why?

Simple.

I was 27 when Black Rose was born.

I wouldn't trade any of that which has come before or after.

I would go back to then, not so that I could change anything. Even if I could.

But that I would have the opportunity to share those years with her again.

Life simply goes by too quickly.

It seems that she was only starting School - yesterday.

Now, she has taken a job that is away from 'home'.

What a great 'jumping off point'
from which to ready herself for University in the Fall!

I wouldn't wish to change the challenges that we have experienced.
I shared with you our journey with Wilsons Disease.

The 'good stuff'- that's what I would like to experience most.
But then,

the tough times are what makes us stronger.

It's all in learning to dance....this is on my personal email as a quote - love it:
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain."

And,

if I were to remove any of those,
none of us would be who we are today.

27 is my answer. 

Black Rose,

Thank you most of all,
 for being my Friend.
