i never thought i would be married and have a family of my own. i always thought i'd be single forever. i never wanted to have a child in fear of giving birth. i've always thought it would be so painful and i'm afraid that i won't be able to bear the pain. i'm so glad i met my loving husband and had the privilege of bringing life into this world, my daughter. i feel so blessed to have my family. there may be ups and downs but i'm thankful for having them. i could never imagine living without my husband and my daughter. they are my pride and joy. they make me feel content even in this crazy world that we live in. they are my peace, my serenity, my life...

my family means everything to me. its something that i can really call my own, especially my children. i remember how hard it was to bring new life into this world but it was very rewarding at the same time. just seeing your kids smile at you, hug and kiss you, wow.. . what more could i ask for?

yes, you're right about that. having a family makes you feel a sense of fulfillment and contentment which can never be replaced or bought by anything...

wow! congratulations on your being a grandma! lol! that's great! 25 years? wow...i hope and pray that my marriage would be just like yours. i even hope it will last forever! i'm so thankful for having my husband because i think men like him and like your husband are becoming extinct. lol. coz most men now are more into short-term relationships...well, if you can really call that a relationship! lol!
