19. Did you envision yourself to be where you are today ten years ago?

um..nope

If not, what did you envision?
it's probably easier to say what I didn't envision than what I did....
--I didn't imagine I would have another child (and I have had two add'l children);
--I never dreamed I would have a twin pregnancy ~see previous statement~ (up until it happened, I had same misconception as most people...that twins are genetic; well, there are none in my family.  What most people don't know is that identical twins just happen....genetics only play a part in fraternal twins.)
--I certainly never dreamed that I would be a bereaved parent and visit a cemetary where my child is buried
--I didn't see myself living anywhere other  than somewhere in TX (we are in TN),
--I didn't envision some of the struggles I have had this last year....that seem to be continuing to some degree
