I had similar issues my whole life. It was a little devestating to me to have a hysterectomy, kind of the ultimate confirmation that birthing a child wouldn't happen for me. I'm lucky though with step-children and adopted children who I adore.

I’m sorry to hear about your issues, but I’m glad to know you’ve made a family despite them! ❤️

What a clear, open, honest piece about a subject that’s so emotional to so many people. I wish your parts had been more cooperative, but I’m glad you’re still an awesome aunt and a happy person.

[roina_arwen]

Aww, thank you so much for your kind words. ❤️

I'm happy for you that you've been such a wonderful aunt. The aunt/uncle relationship can be very important, without, as you say, the hard parts of being a parent.

So true! Thanks for reading!

Your personal take on this was both moving and funny. Those kids are lucky to have their "Aunt Laura."

Aww thanks - that’s pretty much me in a nutshell, as I try to keep a positive outlook on things. Thanks for reading!

I love being Auntie to my sisters' and friends' kids.

Aunties, like grandparents, often have the best of both worlds! Thanks for reading!
