My parents would have been firm, but loving and wise. I would have had an older brother. One who looked out for me. We would be middle class, with just enough money.

I would have gone through school, good grades and have chosen a nearby college. I would like to have pursued a medical degree, possibly surgery. I would like to have found someone who shared my interest in medicine to marry. I would have liked to have enough time and money to support two children a boy and a girl. I would like to have written a book or two – one, non fiction and one novel.

I am bored. I now realize why things did not go as I would have had it. I did not expect this outcome.
