Go back to the day I met my wife for the first time. It's been 22 years. Married for 18 years, still going strong. But time's flying. I'd like to go back...and just do it all the same again. Just to add more and more time. Can't believe time went by so fast...

Honestly, I would love to go back and just spend one more day with the Son that I lost when he was 3 1/2 years old. I would give anything to have just one more moment with him.

Tell my friend not to go home just yet. She had been at my house all day at it was about 9pm. She lived two streets away and I had a funny feeling in my stomach that she shouldn't leave. I pushed it aside and she left. It normally takes less than 5 minutes for her to get home and she or her mum would always call to say she'd got back safe. This night she didn't, on the way home she was attacked and raped by two guys. She never recovered from the attack and ended her life a year later. I miss her everyday. It taught me to always trust my gut and to never let a friend go home alone.

I went to New York City with my cousin when I was 10 and he was 12. We goofed around on the subway and ended up at the Natural History Museum, where we spent the entire day running through exhibits, naming all the dinosaurs and playing tag in the Hall of Biodiversity. We saw 3-D movies and live spiders. We found out what we'd weigh on Neptune. We had a fabulous time.
At the end of the day, my mom took us to my favorite diner in the city, where we all had cheeseburgers and milkshakes. It was the middle of the summer, and we had no responsibilities to get back to. We talked non-stop on the way home, and that was when I realized I'd just had the best day of my life. Nothing has surpassed it since.

Nothing at all, because I currently have a 10 year old daughter who's happy and healthy and thriving and there's nothing I could get out of the past that would be worth risking that.

1. Go back to the time I did the biggest mistake of my life.
2. Go back to my aunt's wedding an hug my cousin and have crazy fun with him because it would be the last time I see him.

I'd like to go back to my 10 years old self and DON'T attempt suicide. I'd hug myself, tell myself that none of the things I was going through was my fault. And that the violence, abuse and poverty would end someday. Hey, 10 years old Alexia, can you hear me? You're beautiful and special and you deserve all the best in the world; never forget that.

I'd go back about 15 years ago and tell my husband "hey, I think we have a problem here..." We are still together, but it would have saved us a lot of pain and grief along the way.

Go back to first year of Uni and NOT dump a lovely guy for someone I met at Uni who then ultimately betrayed me with a close friend......

I wouldn’t go back to any time. I feel like all of the mistakes I’ve made, all of the choices I’ve devised, have all led me to where I am now. I feel like I would not be who I am today without all that. And I’m happy where I am.

Play with my dog more. He died at 2 years old in February this year. So did my cat of 18 years (OLDER THAN ME!!) and they both died within 2 weeks of each other. They both had seizures and my dog might've had a brain tumor

I would go back and record my childhood bully, as proof that I wasn’t lying and that she wasn’t the angel she was seen as.

I would go right back to the day I married my husband! We lived in sin for 5 years, and married for 27. Almost 33 years together total.
He died on my arms the night of December 20, 2021.
He had been sick for nearly 5 years, but his death was not expected.
He had a just been released to come home after 44 consecutive days in the hospital.
He was home 4 days, and died in my arms night 4.
Because I'm in the medical field, and because I saw him take his last two breaths, I had to call 911. I would never have known if I made the right choice had I just let him go. So officially he didn't die until 7:14 p.m., December 2, 2021.
He was my best friend, and I miss him so very much. We had a helluva good time together and I miss the laughter.
Ours was a magnificent wedding. Not huge, but perfect.
We did the actual ceremony on day 1, and had the reception/celebration on day 2. We had a live band with whom I had been singing for years. We had friends and family. We had our future.
Those were 2 pretty special days.
I am a vocalist and music minister.
My 1st surprise for Tim was me singing The Lord's Prayer from the narthex of the church just prior to the ceremony beginning.
A wee bit of luck played into the timing as our videographer, Dennis, happened to be with Tim just before the music started.
Dennis asked, "I've know your wife a very long time, Tim. How are you feeling about marrying that wild and wonderful woman?"
My Tim's response:
Well, Dennis, we all know I'm marrying up. What on Earth do I have to lose?"
The room filled with laughter and then the organ music began.
I miss his laughter.

I was in a play where I played a quirky old man with a mean dog that kept getting out in the neighborhood, harassing people. You never saw the dog, just a leash drawn tight while sound effects of a big, snarling dog filled the theater. At curtain call, I was the last one to come out, accompanied by my sweet, 12-pound Shih Tzu. The audience roared with laughter. It was one of my favorite moments.

I got 2
1. I would wanted to tell my grandad (who died about 7 years ago)I loved him
2. I'd want to go back and say thank you and I love you to my big brother (who looked after me until I was 6.) fast forwarding 10 years my brother knocked on my door and asked if I'd help and I helped him ( he wanted help because he was suicidal and feeling like sh***). Six months later I go into his room and he's on the floor surrounded by a pool of blood.turned out he killed himself after I said I hated him fast forwarding a year I am now suicidal and miss my brother like hell

I would have stood up for myself a lot more when I was bullied in school. It wasn't a specific moment but it was a very particular time period that created a domino effect which ended up having a long-lasting effect on my life. And it's why parents should take bullying more seriously.
Being bullied led to dropping out of sports and clubs because I didn't want to be around the people who were bullying me. That led to secluding myself more and loosing friends because I didn't see them as much. It led to very quick weight gain because I was suddenly not active and I was eating more. It led to getting used to sitting at home not going out and being more and more okay with being alone. It led to me being more scared of things and less trusting. I had a hard time making friends and relationships because I avoided people. I look back on that period as the most critical to my development and the most influential on the path my life took.
Now I'm an adult and have long since gotten over it, and my life is pretty good. But I still deal with a weight problem that I've never been able to get ahold of. If I'd stood up for myself, if I knew then what I know now about how little they mattered, I feel like my life would have maybe been a bit easier. The decisions I made wouldn't have been influenced so much by wanting to avoid confrontation.

It's nothing too fancy but my family has lost quite a few people over the years on my mother's side of the family. She had four siblings. One has become estranged to the point she wants nothing to do with us unless there's a death in the family. They have lost both their parents and the one brother they've had within about 10 years. I'd just like to spend one more Christmas with everyone as a happy family, even if it's the one where I was put in time out. I miss all of them and don't feel like I really appreciated the time I had with them when they were here.
