Once in a Blue Moon

I have accepted my fate that I will not be able to have children, but every so often I really creve having children. I usually am able to get my fix through family and friends and their children because they have always made me very special to them. Kevin has twelve grandchildren, but moving to Fl has limited our time to see them and I am having the "Moment". I read about my sister and brother's children. I speak to my godchildren and I watch all these people grow into their own and miss them dearly.
I have never PMS'd, but it seems that my internal self PMS' over my non -child bearing body. I keep this to my self most of the time because, yes, I do crave having children still. I just allow my faith to heal those feelings and it passes for another 7 months to a year. Maybe menopause will fix this in a few years.

June, I can't say I know what you are feeling. Though you don't have children of your own, know that you are surrounded by many. You are an aunt 18 times over! :) Could that be the next best thing???? I don't know. I hope I'm not making you feel worse. I love you and think of you often. I do appreciate the fact that whenever you are here, you make the best of your time with the kids. They love you too, June.

June, know that you will always be loved and that you are always in my prayers. Here's a prayer that I pray whenever I'm having a hard time dealing with something...

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
