Recently, my Facebook feed has been flooded with people having babies. It is so heart warming to see the first photos of these tiny creatures. A number of the mothers are older than I am. This gives me hope.
As the calendar months flip, the hope of ever recovering continues to slip from my grasp. I know God can heal me at any time, but as I age, the hope of ever meeting prince charming and being able to start a family grows dim.
There are a number of issues impeding my search for Mr. Right. First, the places I frequent are emergency departments (ED) and doctors' offices. I suppose I could meet someone here, but usually I am sick when in the ED and at the doctor's office. I am not exactly in the mood for finding a husband when visiting medical facilities.
Second, I have major health issues. Who wants the burden of caring for someone from the very start of a relationship? Moreover, my medical bills are massive. I would never want to impose this financial strain on anyone (unless he is extremely wealthy and forking out a million dollars a year to charity is pocket change to him).
Another stumbling block is I lack boyfriend experience. Yes, that is right. This girl has never held a boy's hand or been kissed. Several weeks ago a man on my YouTube channel told me I was pretty. That made me blush because I think it is the first time a male has ever told me that. With all that said, even if I did meet my prince, I would be reluctant to accept an invitation to go on a date because I lack experience in boy/girl relationships.
But as I see these new mothers who are older than me have children, a little bit of hope renews. There is still time. There is still time to recover. There is still time to meet a husband. There is still time to start a family.
