REGRET

            I have lived a life with very few regrets. Not that I wouldn’t do anything differently if I could, but that those events are so minor and inconsequential, they’re not worth going back in time or anything to try and fix. There is but one thing throughout my entire life, that I know, without a shadow of a doubt, I would change.

            I don’t remember too much about the day itself, it was so long ago. I remember it was warm, I was in a T-shirt and shorts. I think I was ten at the time. I came home, either I had no homework or I had already finished it, and went to go play with my dog. Her name was Nantucket. She had white fur on her legs and belly, with her back being covered by brown and black. People still called her a puppy, despite her age.

            I didn’t ordinarily play with Nantucket. She wasn’t technically my dog. My family had had her since before my older sister was born, so I was never given much responsibility over her. But that day, I wanted to be with her.
