So, I just read this op-ed piece about a CF woman and how she’s happy that way. I like the article a lot, particularly the quote:
” I accept that I have missed out on one of the most profound feelings human beings can have. But even if I did regret not having children, why would that be a different order of regret from other missed opportunities?”
Amen to that. But you know, now that I’m re-mulling over the CF existance – again – I have to admit that one of the reasons that Molly is such a wonderful friend is that she doesn’t judge me for not birthing. I’m truly happy for her that she and JR are planning a family. I think they’ll make great parents. And, I think, she’s truly happy for me that I have a fulfilling marriage and career, and that I’m content with the choices I have made.
I know, I could change my mind. But I don’t expect to.
