Lucky

Someone once told me - “You are so lucky you don’t have kids.” And went on to complain about the financial burden, or some crazy thing their kid did, or just ranting about stupid things about kids that made them angry. I get it, everyone complains about everything and everyone. 


But to tell a woman who can’t have kids, that they’re lucky - Just didn’t sit well with me. 


There is a difference between “don’t want” and “can’t have” - And I’m one of those “can’t have.”


Now, I’m not here to start a pity party or to look for “I’m sorry” - That’s not what this is about. 


It’s about me, telling all those parents out there, that they are lucky they have their kids. Even those kids who got their wings, especially those who came with closed eyes and knew nothing but love.


You are lucky that you have those financial burdens, get to laugh at all those crazy moments, and have those "headaches" when your kids make you angry.


You are lucky.
