When she asks you to stay with her that night in the hospital, do it. She dies and you will regret it forever.

 remember when you danced and jogged and biked to work ? well, you really should havekept those good habits alive. Remember that purple jumpsuit you bought after basic training? What was that a size 12 maybe ? and you thought you were fat..HA ! you had no idea how lovely you were then. so, if this message somehow comes to you sometime in 1980, trust me...HEED THE MESSAGE !!! Do you really want to be single, fat, out of shape and hypertensive at 47 ? Didn't think so. And be much nicer to your mother...it will be hell to watch her die.

 Those five minutes before you left the beach where you looked at the time and thought you can stay for a few more minutes? Don't. It would've made all the difference. You were never one to live in the past but after that, you will be.

 Go to McDonald's with your dad. Your grandparents can wait, but that would have saved your dad's life.

 Stretch beforehand.

 When you go to college, don't bring the boy with you. You'll have more fun without him ;)

 Don't trust your mother-in-law. She hates you.

 Don't climb in the truck, its a bad idea.
