My brother and his wife could never have kids. One of my retired neighbors also could never have kids.
I always thought that if we were childless our lives would have been essentially meaningless, having made no contribution to the continuation of the human race or our bloddline.
What a tragedy, to have effectively betrayed your thousands of ancestors by terminating their bloodline at yourself.
Our ancestors would be pleased to know that not only the two of us, but also our 3 kids have sustained their heritage.
Interesting to know that they are the 18th generation down from our ancestor who stepped ashore before the country was still uncharted wilderness and indeed was not yet a country. He would be pleased I think.
How sad to never barely audibly hear your name called from the other room and getting up and going in and saying "Yes? You called me?" and being told "No, but I was just thinking about you."
