Things I Missed Out On
Because of Facebook I have been able to reconnect with my high school classmates. I haven’t seen them since graduation which was more than 25 years ago. Most everyone I have reconnected with got married and had children and now many of them have grandchildren. Well, I got married but never had children and thus I will never have grandchildren. I’ve missed out on a lot of the joys of that part of life. I got to send wedding announcements but I never got to send birth announcements. I think that would’ve been fun.
About two years after Norm and I got married several of our friends at church were pregnant and I think I must’ve been slightly jealous because I had a weird dream one night. I dreamt that I was pregnant and Norm and I were telling all of our friends the good news. Everyone was so shocked, especially Norm when I told him about my dream the next morning. He was even more shocked when I told him that in my dream it wasn’t a baby we were expecting. It was a kitten. Lately I’ve been thinking about getting a dog, specifically a Chihuahua. Maybe someday I’ll get to send out announcements?
