But I can't say "it was all I could have wanted." Because as I sat there on the bench, looking over a beautiful valley, basking in the perfect weather, all I could think was how much I wanted there to be a special someone sitting beside me. How I longed for a meaningful, or even silly, conversation with someone. How if the right person were beside me I could put my head on his shoulder, and hold his hand, and just gaze on that view forever. <br />I will attend my first family reunion of my extended family (my VERY large, well-meaning, often offensive family) in 10 years in a few weeks. I want to see my family, and I know it will be fun, but what no one else will see is my heart-breaking when I look at all the babies and children. I will wish I had babies of my own to hold. And I will lament that my children, if I am ever so blessed to have them, won't grow up with cousins their own age, like I got to do. <br />This is going to be the topic of the column I'm writing this week. Its going to be an emotional one!erinanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033894841051002279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987305.post-38255498420687947952010-07-10T13:33:01.863-06:002010-07-10T13:33:01.863-06:001. that gave me chills to hear about your aunt and...1. that gave me chills to hear about your aunt and uncle. That's great that they stood together for so long in a time when people are breaking up and getting together left and right.<br /><br />2. I think you are a great, loving person, with a lot of love to give. That means something. Never forget it. <br /><br />3. You really know how to keep me on the edge of my seat. I am excited to see what's gonna happen next!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
