A Little Girl of My Own
A friend's little daughter was over at my house today. She's marched through the door, her shiny brown curls dancing around her adorable little face. We played for a bit, and I chatted with my friend. Within moments, the little girl asked me if she could sit on my lap. I happily obliged.
Feeling the warmth of her little body on mine, feeling the top of her curls brush against the bottom of my chin, should have thrilled me to no end. But it didn't. It gave me the chills. I hugged her around the waist, then tickled her sides. She squirmed and giggled. I sighed.
Finally, it was time for them to leave. "But you're such a wonderful little girl," I said. "Won't you come and live with me?" On the surface, I was joking. But somewhere deep down, I was begging.
"No," she said, turning away from me. "I going home with my Mommy." Her mother smiled.
I almost cried.
I want one.

Just found your blog, I like the way you write and express happiness towards others, rather then being and seeing negative all around.
I can only wish you , you should HAVE to change your blog name in the right time, and until Hashem should give you the stregnth dealing it with a positive attitude.
Good Shabbos
and you'll have one...b"h
I know exactly what you mean. I love kids and enjoy their company immensely. It really hurtssometimes that they do have to leave "at the end of the day."
It really can hurt when people say "oh, you're going to make such a wonderful tatty." I appreciate the comment, really i do but it does sting a bit.
You seem a bit sad, are you? I can feel your love for children, so sweet for a man.
You want one? Then why not have one? It could be fun I tell you! I just gave birth to my first baby 3 months ago. She's a cute little baby girl. She's the best thing that happened to me!
I wish you'd find the same happiness as we have when you already have your own kiddo.
