Adelle - Our Angel Baby

One of the things that has bothered me since loosing Adelle, is the fact that I am now/once again/maybe forever (it's still too soon to decide to "try again")...childless.  My whole life women who are childless have been described as being selfish and have been accused of not understanding anything about family (or life in general).  I have heard the expression "she's not a mother so how would she know [about being tired]..." countless times from some women who are very close to me.  I wonder now, if I will ever be able to prove that I know, probably more than they think, about life and about raising a family.  It's not something that comes with an owners' manual and I know that M & I would have been great parents - the instinct and the love was (and still is) there. 

I bring this up, because I read a very inspiring article this morning.  The founder of the SavvyAuntie website interviewed Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, and she talks specifically about the selflessness of childless women.  I welcome you all to read this inspiring article:  http://bit.ly/boF8F1.
