Not if I had to give up the many good memories I had with my Parents. Mom called me one day to tell me Dad woke up completely deaf. I told her I would be over directly to drive him to the Doctor.
Turns out his ears were full of ear wax *a problem for those who use a lot of Q-Tips*. He got his full hearing back plus no more ringing in his ears from a *childhood accident.*
When Dad passed I became the soul caregiver to my mother, And moved in. I would ask my sister who lived near by to come and heat up a bowl of Soup for Mom. Sundays was the only day Mom didn't have the Bus to take to her Day Care Center. My sister said she would come only if I paid her. She lived 3 miles from Mom. Wanted to get paid to heat up a bowl of soup.
Now my sister wants me to sell this home I am in and give her the money. This is my home. I have lived here. I paid the bills and upkeep and Sister wants the house.
Isn't going to happen. Nope!
Back to your question... a do-over? I think not. I had a good life. I was loved by my parents. A do over maybe to relive those good days... but no, I had a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing I would change.

@skyxmint: that's difficult to confess. When I was 18 I took it upon myself to get laid. (wanted to see what the hype was all about) AND the result was pregnancy. Borrowed money to fly to NY. The only place that permitted abortion. Took me a few years to feel what I did was wrong.
Alas, I later adopted 2 beautiful children. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
Still today I have to say I am pro-choice.
My son and his wife have just put in papers to apply to adopt a little girl they have taken in as a foster. It all circles around to timing.
