Joni Mitchell knew what she was talking about in her 1970 song, "Big Yellow Taxi."
The thoughts flood in. Why didn't I listen better? Why didn't I really realize that our time together was finite, that every day, every moment could be the last? Whey didn't we take that trip south? Or go and visit old friends in the US? Or go back to China? or, or, or, ....
I should have, I wish I had,
Can I please have a do-over? David and I had joked about that line after the Brexit vote in the U.K. and I said that the only "do-overs" are in grade one recess soccer games.
Oh my darling David.
