a sad realization

i was chatting online with the guy i'm seeing. he is on his way to his brother's house because his brother and sister-in-law just found out they are having a little baby boy (in Oct). it is their second child and second boy. i congratulated him on being an uncle again. then i got to thinking...

i'll never be an aunt. my sister is gone. she is not here to get her life in order and one day have kids. that will never happen. sadness swept over me.

i thought about my half brother, who i have never met. it seems like he doesn't want much to do with me, so if he one day has children, i probably won't even know about it.

i'm lucky to be a mother. but i'll never know what it feels like to be an aunt.
