I'm pushing 60 and never married. I probably would have been appalled if I knew this would be my life but with time I have realized it is right for me. I'm Christian and as far as I can tell, Christ never said anything about anyone having to have kids. Maybe he did but it wasn't recorded.

My life can be sad and lonely but not nearly as sad and lonely as if I would have married. I would not be a good partner.

I am involved with my family and community as much as possible. Right now I'm taking care of my Great nieces. It is indeed tedious work but important.

It took me a long time to figure out and accept myself and my life.

Best to you as you wrestle with all of this.
