Show OHI E&G Aguayo 3-12-85 s7:61 most people, I guess it's the right thing. For some it's not. And I think for me, it isn't. I enjoy my life. EA I don't think I have regrets either.Like I say, when --18 to 24, around there, you think alot. There's opportunities. But when they don't materialize, don't look back. Just keep going. There's no regrets. i mean, if you're going to start brooding about it, then forget it. Like I say, I think the children. I like children But they've always been around. We've seen them as young, weve seenthem grown up. And now they're start having their own families. It's a joy there. L For me justl::eing here, there seems to be a family feeling in this little place here. There's a sense of family.'s settleness of being here. GA Like I say, we've been together a~l our lives. Everyone''s been around. My other brther moved to California. That's the :first time I've had one that hasn't been within a 15-20 minutes. EA And he just called. The just called the other day. So it's not like they don't keep intouch. His girls-well, they're my sister-in-law girls, but they came to visit us for Christmas. They're all around. They - family'.s family. My sister -she has them all. She has three. And they.'.re here in and out all the time. My end side seven begin side eight |
