I wanted to be a mom from my earliest memories
I spent my twenties and thirties trying to become a mom, but no matter how hard I tried it did not happen
I am childless not by choice and by circumstances
Becoming childless by circumstance was one of the most painful experiences of my life
Because of my childlessness, I have met some of the kindest, most caring and wonderful people I have ever known
Because of my childlessness, I have learned to truly see myself, something I may have not paused to do if I were a mother
Because of my childlessness, I have been able to travel where and when I choose, and travel has become one of my greatest joys in life
Because of my childlessness, I have been free to create a life in ways I never imagined
Because of my childlessness, I have found deep joy
Because of my childlessness, the life I am living is far different than the one I imagined, but it has become a beautiful one
