Be Kind Please Rewind

I am sure there are many folks out there waiting for the invention of the rewind button to rewind life. It's amazing how things can change instantly, in a matter of seconds. When these things happen, we look back and say: "I should've done this differently" or "I should've worn different pair of shoes" or "I should've stayed home"

On our second night at the beach, my mom tripped and fell. She tripped over her own feet, fell on the car and fractured her right arm/shoulder.

I'd love to be able to rewind that night and make one tiny different decision. That'd be to not leave the bungalow. But... we wanted to go get bread at the grocery store, and we wanted to take a stroll down the fancy shops further south, so off we went.

Things would be so different now if I could rewind... not only would the beach trip not have been cut short, but I wouldn't be leaving her here in Lima by herself unable to do many many things for about 3 weeks.
