I spent this past weekend with my brother’s family. I have 2 very cute nieces and really don’t get to see them to often. It really is the only time I feel like I’m missing out on having children.

After they left I was very depressed and started feeling sorry for myself because I don’t have any kids of my own. The love I feel for my girls is huge. I only wish they lived closer to me so I could spend more time with them.

Is it just women who are single and older that have these feelings? I know a lot of single men who don’t want to have any kids. As for myself, I didn’t pop out of my mother’s belly and say “I want to be a mommy”.

It takes a couple days for me to snap out of the funk. It’s too late for me to have a baby and in reality I’m completely fine with it. I have children in my life that I adore. There’s a good chance I could meet a man who has kids and I’m totally cool with that. And someday I would consider adopting a child. In the end I am just grateful to have my nieces.
