Single Mom By Choice
I have been single for most of my adult life and never lost hope that I would be married. But as I got closer and closer to 40 and then turning 40, I wondered if I would ever have children. For one, I knew my chances decreased as I grew older but secondly, I wasn’t sure I had it in me at my age.
Halfway through my fortieth year of life, I went over to my best friend’s house for a glass of wine and a much needed catch up on all the things of life as we knew it. By the end of our conversation, she blindsided me with something I never would have expected her to say…
‘You can be a Mom.’
And these words surfaced something so deep in me all I could do was respond with tears…and then she added,
‘You don’t need a husband.’
Then something else I needed to hear…
‘And you won’t be alone.’
So I cried more tears…and then she said,
‘And you can have your own.’
