Every now and then someone or something from my past comes barging into my present. It has honestly take me many years to let go of what I couldn't change and now, get this, with technology that stupid past that makes me want to cry comes and bashes me no the head! Lost chances, lost friends and worst of all lost love never given a chance.
When I think back 10 or more years I remember people that filled my days with joy. The friends that I got up out of bed to see everyday. I even look back on the days that I had to cry and wished to start over with fondness. I remember seeing my high school crush and daydreaming of what could be. Not that any of it came true... I feel jipped, almost like, even though I lived everyday to the fullest I really missed out on something. I am happy with my husband, I could never find someone better. But I will always regret that I never took a chance to see what I could really get out of life.
Kudos to you my Heart, may the life you have found bring you the happiness and fullness that seems to be eluding me.

Boy, 3, fell to his death out apartment window
A boy found dead after a 15-story fall from an Ottawa high rise on Monday night, fell out a top floor window and not off a balcony, police confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Police are still investigating the incident that took place at a building in Ottawa's west end around 10 p.m. Monday, and still have no details about what led up to the fall of the three-year-old boy, said Const. Isabelle Lemieux.
She added that an autopsy is being performed in Toronto, but the boy's name is not being released at his family's request.
Housing agency to check windows
The incident took place at 1465 Caldwell Ave., at a building owned by the city's public housing agency, Ottawa Community Housing Corp.
On Wednesday morning, CEO Ron Larkin said the corporation would randomly examine the windows in other units in its highrise buildings as a precautionary measure.
Staff will be checking whether the windows are properly equipped with locking "restrictor" devices to prevent windows from opening beyond a certain width, he said. He added that some residents remove the devices to clean the screens and then don't reinstall them.
How dose this happen? Why are parents not watching there kids! It's not locks on doors and windows that kids need. They need to be taught what is safe, what's not and why. If they don't know why running across the road is danger, they will run out to see why mom and dad say not to run out there. I don't have kids and I'm not saying that this will fix a problem, but I will say this Children are smart, make them smarter and explain why they should or should not do something. Maybe, just maybe they will listen and be safe.
