The most important decision I've made that really counts with me was when I became an Uncle. I swore at the time that these precious kids would never see my angry/depressed/or negative side. To spare them that, I thought, would be the greatest gift I could give them, and myself. Turns out I was right. I'd sooner stay away if I'm in a bad state of mind than inflict it on my nieces and nephew. Looking back, this taught me self discipline and made me a great role model. I have no regrets in this area, and that's what's most important to me. It's an important decision that I'm proud of to this day!

Deciding to get married was a BIG ONE for me......I didn't want any children so I didn't see the point of ever really making it official with anyone. My husband and I lived together for 10 years and then decided to get married one day. We have been official married now for 9 years. So I had him for a total of 19 years altogether. He just passed away on June 20th. This was one of the best decsions I ever made. I was 34 when we met, he was 45. I think it's best not to get in such a hurry to find that perfect someone. They will eventually come along!
