I was going to just not write this letter, as only one thing came to mind.
But to those of you who know me well, they know that N is for No Kids.
I don't have any children. I wish more than anything that I did. Most of the time. My sister has 2 adorable babies, and I have none. We just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. I have watched my best friends get married, have children and grow up, and part of me feels so left behind.
True, I have my students. I have my puppies.
But I have always wanted to have a large family. As time goes by, I realise that this is not going to be my lot in life. I have come to terms with it, for myself. But, every time I find out that someone around me is expecting, I get a little sad.
One day I may be able to adopt. Which I think has always been my real dream behind the large family dream. Until then, I shall have to just be happy with what I have.
painful situation...sorry.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, be happy with what you have.
and dream, too, for dreams can and do come true.
My daughter has this same situation. It's such a hard one. I hope and pray that things turn around for you...I can't imagine how difficult this must be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a poignant post on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday's letter "N".
Hugs and A+
