A couple that are good friends of ours are going thru some emotionally tough times right now. They have one child, Max (We are his Godparents BTW), but have been going to Doctors and can't have anymore. They are really broke up over it.
Here's the rub. My wife and I most likely won't ever have children. In part, it never happened, but we also have found it very well may never happen. As I sit there and listen to this couple, I get a little angry. The one child they have is an incredibly well behaved little toddler. He is Soooooo Flrity. On playdays, a lot of other kids tell their momma's, "We" goin to see Max!". He is the one other kids single out. Such a blessing. What angers me is it sometimes seems like they only see what they can't have......They already have sooo much.
I wonder at times if some of ranch life sets you up to understand at times there will be losses. To be gratefull for what you do have. Sometimes I wonder what to say to this couple, if anything....
I just needed someplace to vent, so thanks for letting me get it off my chest. May very well keep me from saying something inappropriate,
PPRM
