Some things just hurt
Listening to my friends talk about their plans for their childrens' christmas kind of stings quite a bit. I hear all the time of their childrens' milestonnes, accomplishments, or something funny their kids had done.I know it's not aimed at me because I'm about the only one I work around that does not have kids, but it gets to me. I don't show it on the outside, it just sits inside with only me knowing. I don't expect them to not talk about their kids around me, I'm happy that they are proud of their kids, and they are in my opinion good parents.
I think it stems from the fact that I want to have a family of my own more than anything. Being called "dad" or "daddy" would be the greatest thing ever to me. With the holidays here it's just tougher for me. It's the one thing in life I want and will not give up until I do.
