- Mem,
Since I never knew my father (he died suddenly at a fairly young age when I was less than a year old) I can't give an answer about him.
As to my mother, yes I would have chosen her and would choose her again. She did an excellent job raising me as a widowed mother and gave me great support, guidance, love and discipline molding me into the man I am now.
One could say that those are the parents you chose to make you the person you are.
Or one could say those are the parents that God chose for you, to make you the person you are.
