Reclaim The Day

So to make a positive out of a negative I feel we need to claim the 16th September for the childless not by choice.

This is the first World Childless Week and today is our birthday. It’s not the sort of birthday that people want to be part of. It’s not the sort of birthday that I want people to join. But, if we have to be here then we will make it a day about us.

We can celebrate that we have found support.

We can celebrate that each year the pain is a little less.

We can celebrate that each year more of us will speak out.

We can celebrate that each year more people will hear us.

We can celebrate that we are worthy.

We can celebrate that we are not alone.
