If you could go back in time and change one mistake you've made, what would it be?
 
Letting Alcohol and Partying and Sex consume my lifestyle at one time, at a time where I neglected those who needed me the most.
 
One side of me would says not leave home at 17 become a high school drop out that made homeless for a time. But another side of me says if I did not take that path it might not have made me work so hard to eventually become a successful business owner and meet the wife who pushed me to start my business. So all my mistakes in my life made me the guy I am today and I would not go back and make a left instead of a right if I could.
 
I'd change many things, but recently I would change how I treated Tomasz my ex.
 
I would change the fact that I wasn't as thankful for my ex and didn't treat him like he deserved to be treated. I really regret taking him for granted and not spoiling him like I should have. When he passed away when I was 17 I was really hurt that I always looked at the negative in him and never really appreciated the good things he did for me and how thoughtful he was.

If I could go back I would treat him like a king and tell him how amazing he is and how he deserves to be happy in life. I would also express how lucky I am to have him in my life and how thankful I am for him. I definitely wouldn't let him forget how much he affects a lot of people's lives in a positive way. I would remind him that his daughter loves him and looks up to him because he is so amazing.

It sucks that I can't go back and change the way that I was back then. However, after the passing of my ex I learned to be more thankful for the people that I have in my life and for the things that I have. It's really true, you never really know what you have until it's gone.
