RE: It wasn't meant to happen

The clarity of your thinking is admirable. You should not have children just because of social pressure or cultural customs. Bringing them into the world is a great responsibility and you have to respect anyone who does not want to do it. The important thing is that you have decided to give all that love to your nieces and nephews.

I had an uncle, my father's brother, who loved me very much. He was a man who was always looking out for me, I felt as close to him as to my own father. With him I had protection and security, and sometimes I thought that if my father was absent he would take his place.

It is important for your nieces and nephews to know that they can count on you, that you are there to support them. Having a loving father and uncle is a great fortune for anyone.

Thank you for this heartfelt post dear friend @galenkp . Have a happy evening.

Too many people have children because that's what they're supposed to do or that's what's expected. Had it happened for me back years ago I would have been happy. Now, well it's just something that I would have liked to happen, but did not. I'm ok with it. My nieces and nephew get all of me now and that's good enough. It has to be, right?

People have many ways to find their purpose in life, the important thing is to feel that the best decision has been made. Your nieces and nephews bring you happiness and you bring them happiness and that's great.

Happy Sunday dear friend.
