Sometimes I sit at the crossroads of those historical moments and wonder what my life would be like had this happened, or had not transpired.

What would I be doing, who my children would be, if Andrew & Carl, my deceased partners had not died all those years ago. I'm very happy in how my life has turned out, but the mystery of those possibilities sometimes haunt me.

I wouldn't mind an opportunity for a spot of time travel.(less)
