The giant flounder latched onto the hook on my husband\u2019s fishing pole. The water churned as the fish tried to get away, but Paul kept reeling him into shore. That fish was huge\u2013the biggest flounder he had ever seen.<\/p>\n

Golfers at the course across the lagoon stopped playing to watch. They cheered Paul on as he reeled\u2026and reeled\u2026and reeled, until the fish got almost to land. And just as Paul started to pull him onto the bank, the unthinkable happened\u2014the line broke. <\/p>\n

The golfer audience yelled, \u201cNooooo!\u201d And my dejected husband kept muttering. \u201cIt was the biggest flounder I\u2019ve ever seen. I almost landed it.\u201d And that\u2019s when the \u201cif\u2019s\u201d started. \u201cIf only I\u2019d had a stronger test line so it wouldn\u2019t have snapped.\u201d And, \u201cIf only I\u2019d had a net with me. I could have pulled him in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those \u201cif only\u201d statements were uttered again when we loaded the fishing equipment into the SUV, when we unloaded the fishing stuff back at the villa, when we got inside the villa, when he changed the line to the new stronger one.<\/p>\n

At dinner, I\u2019d finally had enough. I said, \u201cHoney, I\u2019m tired of hearing about it. You didn\u2019t have the stronger fishing line on the pole, and you didn\u2019t have the net with you. All those \u201cif\u2019s\u201d won\u2019t make any difference. Don\u2019t let it ruin our vacation.\u201d <\/p>\n

But that night after we went to bed, I started thinking about all the \u201cif only\u201d moments in my own life. If only I hadn\u2019t done that. If only I could do it over again. If only I\u2019d spent more time with my mom (or dad or children or grandparents). If only I\u2019d known we didn\u2019t have much time left together. <\/p>\n

But as my husband learned with the monster-sized flounder that got away, all the \u201cif only\u2019s\u201d in the world won\u2019t make any difference. Now, instead of \u201cif only\u2019s,\u201d we’ve decided to look back on moments where we can say, \u201cI\u2019m so glad I did.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
