Things you're sad you'll never do again.

[BlueBloodedBlue]

For me it's horse riding. Haven't actually ridden in years but I used to love it and always thought I'd go back to it.

Now too old and scared of falling and it makes me really sad

Anyone else?

See/Hug/Spend time with my Mum or my Grandma

Get pregnant, have a baby, breastfeed.

And conversely, go clubbing.

Be slim, good-looking and young

Dance with my 1st DH. RIP

Dance in a disco.

Be as carefree and fearless like I was in my late teens.

Attend my child's nativity play.
Wear heels
Laugh with a particular friend, fing cancer.

See those of my siblings and dear friends that are no longer here.
Do some of the physical things my health prevents, like going up Glastonbury Tor and dance all night. (Together and separately)
Wear contact lenses and heels.
Reach the high notes I could when younger.
Climb up a rope.

@BlueBloodedBlue ... I'm 68, a bit creaky in all the wrong places and by no means brave ... but I bought a new horse recently.

Go for it .....

Meanwhile ..... I'm sad I'll never talk to my mum again, have sex again or see an elderly but much loved family member who lives of the other side of the world.

Was just going to say the same. We owned our own horses and my daughters teenage years were wonderful. Outdoor life, riding etc. Then I fell poorly, my daughter fell pregnant and we had a nightmare family situation. We ended up selling our horses. Was such a sad time. I dont think I'll ever ride again. I can't afford to fall off. My body is wrecked and my daughter is supporting herself and her son and working full time. I really hope she gets back to it sometime in the future. She was working at a yard and being trained to event our horses. I try and avoid horses now as it just makes me sad. They were our life. We had such fun and cherished memories x

Pregnancy, birth and a tiny little snuggly newborn, such an exciting time!

So many things. It always seems to me a curse and blessing that we don't often know when we do something that it'll be our last.

I'd love to sit at my Gran's table, drinking tea while the grown-ups chat around me again.

I'd love to sit with my old and long gone dog, Wilfred, again.

I'd love to wander home at 4am in the morning and sit and eat fish finger sandwiches before falling asleep again. I could do that now but it'd make me feel much worse than it did when I was young.

I'd love to sit in my childhood home again and just take in the sight.

I'd love to sit with my grandad again, listing to Radio 4 early in the morning before anyone else got up.

I'd love to live alone again, but with all my friends and family alive and well somewhere. I suspect the next time I live alone, it'll be because they're all gone.

I'd love to bring my current dog home again as a puppy. He was a little one for such a short time.

I suppose, the thing is, there are also still many firsts to go - and I don't know if and when they'll come. So the future still looks bright, even though I am nostalgic for some things.

All the baby to 5yrs experiences (which only proves how porous my memory is)

Have coffee and talk shite with my lovely friend who died far too young.

Ask my grandparents the hundreds of questions that I never thought of while they were alive.

Crawl into the space behind the cupboard in my bf’s attic and eat jellies.

Go back to where I grew up (overseas)

Go skiing, diving or any other vaguely physical activity (chronic illness).

Give birth
Nurse a new born babe

I still feel there is hope to be slim…let’s not give up yet ladies!

So sorry to all those missing loved ones. Makes my post seem so fickle. I have lost close family members which broke me but I still have DH and my girls. Lots of love to all those that have posted here xxxxx

give some people a hug, they've gone now but won't be forgotten

Skiing for me too. It was one of my favourite things but I broke my leg badly two years ago and I don’t think I will be brave enough or have strong enough knees to go back to it.

Laugh with my sister.
Fit all three DCs into our bed in the morning.
Wear a low cut top (bilateral mastectomy 7 years ago)

I'm sad I'll never taste my grans scones ever again, or sit in her front room hugging a hot tea between my hands listening to the tickticktick of the clock she loved.

Being pregnant with my first dc.

Being in my 20s - life seemed full of opportunity and an abundance of experiences.

Go to yhe seaside with my nan for a day trip. She has no idea who I am anymore.

@prettyteapotsplease

I'll never know the simple joy of just sitting with my DH in the garden with a cup of tea. He passed away almost 12 years ago and I must walk this path alone for ever.

Me too. Its 10 years for me

but also ride like the OP because my knees and back are stuffed and have another puppy because again my knees and back are stuffed

Having one of my nanna’s amazing cheese omelettes
Sitting eating cake and chatting about everything and anything with my grandad
Doing simple things with my dd (now she’s 17 )and I miss doing things like reading to her watching certain films or tv programmes that she used to love or having a big bubble bath with her

Have my kids as babes in arms again

Eat my mum’s roast dinner

Get chatted up

Scottish Country Dancing

Anyone saying your too old .....don't write yourself off too early! I was out til 1am dancing a couple of weeks ago ..my partner in crime was my best mates 84 year old Mum. Then we walked home and she made sure I got to bed 🤣🤣

Mines not very original but it was the first thing that came to mind:
Speak to my mum.
