All my life I have heard of the Saying Family Comes First. I think I was one of my mothers favorite sayings. I must have heard it at least 10 times a week! So now that I am older and wiser I can honestly say I agree with my mother on this one.
Not being having ever been married and having children of my own I sometime sit in my house wondering about “The what if’s in life, mainly what it would have been like to have had a family of my own!”
Yes I know it’s not to late and that many people are just starting a family in their early forties and I am happy for them but I don’t even have a significant other in my life at this time. What if I never get a chance to have a family of my own or what if I am like my brother’s daughter and son-in-law who have been trying to have a baby for about five years now and are unable to conceive? I know a lot of what ifs!
I guess I have been thinking so much about it because of all the stress and heartache my niece and nephew have been going through. They want a baby so much and are now seeking professional help from a infertility doctor down in New Jersey. I am praying he can help them start the family that desire with all their hearts.
And I guess if I never have a family to call my own I still have Sam (my dog) and I will be the doting great aunt with all 5 of my great nieces and nephews I all ready have and any that come in the future.
Sorry I guess I just need to air my burdens today hope you don’t mind.
