Both of my grandfathers found love again after my grandmothers passed.<br/><br/>But our path or destiny or whatever may not lead us to the other soulmate until we are ready for them.

I always think how sad it would be to have major regrets at some point in life. They say that who you choose as your spouse sums up 90% of your happiness or misery! It's probably true. Thank God,I got lucky too w/a great guy. I was engaged before and called off a fully planned wedding 2wks before to what would have been my biggest regret--now that i see what goes into parenting, I always think that guy would have never been able to handle being a father--ever! How close i came--whew! So, do you think there is only ONE soulmate for everyone? or could s/o else have fit? I love entertaining this question.

I remember Sliding Doors and it was a fantastic movie - like seeing a live version of those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, except this time I couldn't skip ahead and read both choices and THEN make my decisions.<br/><br/>Your observations are interesting ... What if. Indeed, what if? But I'm glad to read that you're happy with what you have instead of what you're if-ing about. (FYI; found you through brandy!)

Today someone asked
if I would like to go back
and change all the things that had gone wrong
in my life
and although at first
the idea seemed rather appealing
I quickly realized
that the good and the bad are so intertwined
that I couldn’t change part
without changing the whole.

I loved Sliding Doors, but if I allow myself to think of all the chance encounters that got me to where I am today I'd have a constant brain freeze.
