Just me

Katie came into work today, back from a vacation. She, Keith and Alex were gone for three weeks or so, back on the East Coast. One of the topics of conversation that came up was relationships and parenthood.

After a while, I asked, "Who else is married and not pregnant or a mother?" I asked about our group of friends, our immediate and slightly wider circle.

Both Doyle and Katie paused for a few moments to consider the question.

"Just you," was the answer.

Part of me became quite sad with this realization.
