Thanks for raising the point about volunteering with children. @Patricia – there are lots of ways to continue being a mother or a grandmother, which don’t involve your own children.

I suddenly think I will not be a Grandmother...I so loved being a mom and found a great career in doing that with finesse....because there was no money! Still no money as we pay off all the surgeries for #3... I felt sad for a bit...now I think...there are so many children who need appreciation and attention in the world...who am I to be so selfish....so I spend 2 days a week at my local school...I can not tell you how many kids end up sitting in my lap while I listen to them read or help them with a problem.... Thank you for this great post...and sharing your story...Great Choice Eliza and Kelly I so enjoyed reading this today – I started out very late, not getting married until 30 when I felt like a failure at my career….2 years later my oldest came along and then 5 years and one more and an adoption – now 23….My oldest is a great success in her career after a slow start, but has only had one “date” in her 30 years…#2 has severe Celiac Disease and having children will be very difficult for her – though she has a love boyfriend as she studies to be a Librarian…#3 Her boyfriend does not want children with her because of her cleft palate so they are at odds…
