Late Friday Night...

A good friend has just announced her pregnancy to a couple of us via a local chat network (ah, the joys of modern-day technology!). Another is in her last month or so. The neighbour upstairs is expecting later in the year. It's joy all around!

So why do I sit here in tears?

I guess it's because at times like this I realize how "single" I am. And although I've had a child and been a mom, I've missed out on having a rejoicing husband bouncing off the walls at the news. The "let's try for another". The commisseration at failed hopes, and then the incredible awesomeness of the knowlege that Creation has happened deep within you once again.

But this is my path. This is where I am. And I can do no other.
