RE: About me... and a bit of politics because I can't help it.
When I was 45, my first husband had already died of cancer
Wow! That’s beyond brutal. What do you think that he would have made of your 26 sheep?
Hm. Minced meat?
No idea. I don't think we would have moved to the countryside together. So this question would probably never have arisen.
Everything would have been different. If he hadn't fallen ill very early on, I would probably have had children and not sheep. Who knows.
To be honest, this subject, which has been ‘closed’ for a very long time, is not something I want to philosophise about in public.
Let's meet in the pub and we can talk about very personal issues. Offer me three or four beers and I'll tell you moooore... ;-)
Not the legs though 😉
I didn't mean to pry. It's the first time that you've mentioned him to me and none of my business (in a friendly way).
No problem.
Never mentioned this chapter either (the 45 just appealed to me - to be honest, he died at the age of 44. When he fell ill, I was in my early 30s). "In former times" (LOL, I mean the beginning of my social media experience = Steemit, LOL) I used to make sure I didn't reveal anything personal about myself on the internet anyway. Then at some point I didn't care. Now there's been a change: too many people I would never have anything to do with in real life - I don't even want to show them a picture of my baby lambs - too personal... 😂
I had always wondered about the children thing, but of course, it's too personal a topic to even ask you about. I don't know... beers are out of the question. Maybe over a cup of tea or coffee—I’d love to just listen to you, not talk... just listen.
You did mention him the other day in one of your replies to my comment. I wanted to say something then but couldn’t… I didn’t want to upset you. But one day, face to face, I’d like to sit beside you and listen.
Let's put it this way... I had psychological support and good friends. That was all a while ago. Of course I would have liked to have children, but you can't put time back and I don't suffer from not having any.
Everything else then really over a good cup of tea. With your excellent bakeries. Or we could chat about voice programmes. That's certainly exciting... ;-)
I always say: suffering is part of life, with or without children. But when children come into the picture, you take on a lifetime of responsibility. It’s as if a piece of your heart is out there in the world, vulnerable and beyond your constant protection. Ufff… God tests you sometimes by giving them to you...
Looking forward to it ;))
