When I retired from active duty, I still felt that I owed something to my community. That's why I pursued education... I still miss the classroom and recall those days fondly.

As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.

When I retired in 2002 I had retired to stay home with my family and didn't necessarily think my playing days were over.

I always wanted to make sure my parents didn't have to work again for the rest of their lives.

I did not want to later look back in my life and say, 'Why would you not make times change?'

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

I miss my kids sometimes and that can get me down when I've been away working, but then I wake up and recognize how incredibly lucky I am. Spending time being down is less time out there achieving and enjoying.

The one thing I regret is missing the time with my older children when they were young.

I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.

I'm not sure I'd go back and do anything over in my life. I've definitely had my fair share of failures and moments where I wasted my time or that of other people, but if I did those moments over, I'd have missed out on so many lessons.
