I have now added yet another book to my ever growing list I am so glad that I can “talk” to fellow book lovers online. It is wonderful!

I had baby fever about thirteen years ago. When I lost Michael, I thought it was the end of the world. What I’ve found since then, althought it doesn’t replace that child, is so fulfilling, I can only say I’ve been blessed.

How to make God laugh… tell him your plans.

Me, married–with a family? Naw. Never gonna happen.

How grateful I am that God knew what I needed, even when I didn’t.

Yes, Kate did realize that what she got was better than what she wanted! The experience led her to try (and succeed at) different things, and even served as her college application essay. But after all these years (eight, I think), it stings for her. She knows in her head it was all good, but her heart still aches. And mine aches for her, which is the hard part about being a mother!

Kelley, perhaps you have a talent (craft or otherwise) that could be pursued as a job?? I’m in awe of people who start businesses from scratch and make such huge successes of them!

Joni, that’s perfect! Sometimes it’s so hard to look for a silver lining while it’s raining. But eventually it shows itself. Do you think your daughter looks back on that experience now and sees the positive it ended up being??

Dru, I guess what’s meant to be, happens. Life has a way of shaking out the way it’s meant to, huh?

To answer your question without a doubt, my biggest regret is not finishing school. I was going back when I met my husband, got married and had my daughter. Now almost 41 I keep thinking of going back, but haven’t the time or money to do so yet, so that is my biggest regret…

But, I have a beautiful daughter, so it all evens out

Growing up in a single parent home, I wanted to get married so I could have the husband and 2.5 kids. As I got older with a few relationships and promise of marriage that was never fulfilled, I realized that being single worked best for me.

That’s a hard one! I can think of something that my daughter wanted so desperately (a part, any part, in Les Mis) and didn’t get; it was so traumatic that it led to a crisis of faith as we cried together on the kitchen floor. All of her friends were cast, and she was left out and devastated. She was later named to be the costumer for the show, and is still heralded as the best the director has ever worked with; she also became friends with all the big stars, which would never have happened had she been cast in the chorus. Proves that all things work together for good… a convoluted way to look at your question, but I can make it fit in my own mind!
