A Want That Hasn't Changed - - - Is it Destiny?

Once my mother died, all I ever wanted was to be a wife and a mother.  I didn't want to be a teacher, a project manager, a manager of any sort, a director, a vice president.  I wanted to be a wife and a mother.  I wanted a house with a large yard for the kids we were going to have.  I actually wanted to have somewhere between 4 and 6 kids.

It's now 38 years later and I still want to be a wife and mother.  The only difference is that I no longer want to have more than the 3 sons I have... they are just fine for me.  I still want to be a wife.

You would think that after all this time my dreams would meld to fit the time I am in, the life I am in.  But those dreams of the 10 year old girl are still strong, still prominent in my mind (when I dare allow myself to dream).

I don't know that I believe in 'Destiny' but if there is such a thing, and my dreams are any indication of my destiny, one day I will be married again...It's a nice thought.  I'm going to hold on to it - for now.
