    This one was a big challenge for me. I normally don't have a problem doing the journaling challenges, but when I read the topic, this was the story that popped into my head and I struggled with how to tell the tale in a way that's authentic but also won't cause too much upset with the people I'm writing about when they (or their kids) someday read this in our family albums. Whew! Anyway, I wound up with a final count of 968 words, not including the title. I think it's readable, but if you need me to send you the text transcript, just send me a message. Thank you!

    my journaling was badly translated by google, sorry! If I understand correctly, I tried to write about something I would change now that I see things differently...
    The term hindsight is 20/20 is not used in Portuguese, and when I was trying to translate the explanation, I had an idea of what feeling it would mean to me. Certainly, it is the regret of not knowing more about our family's past, and especially about my past and yours, mom, and now you are gone and all the people who could also know about the stories are no longer here either. .. It's a big empty in my heart, and even small details, like a family recipe that I thought I could do and I can't reproduce, it hurts very deep in my heart. And what about the photos, there are so many, and an overwhelming majority I don't know who the people are or what event it was. Why didn't I think of that before? was it be because I did not want to admit that one day you would die? If I could go back in time, among so many other things, I would for sure be listening to many more stories, I would insist even when it seemed that you didn't really wanted to talk ... but even so, I still had the opportunity to hear various stories and family things, I think because I was the youngest, you talked and didn't think I was paying attention ... oh no! lol! but for sure, i would remember to write down the recipes and would not judge my memory infallible! really, hindsight is 20/20 ...

    Fabulous challenge, there were so many Hindsights form me especially this past 15 months, but I picked a time that was significant for my husband and I and something we still to this day recognise as a pivotal point in our own personal lives and marriage. Over 250 words :)
