[quote=greenpanda][quote=Anonymous]You were protecting yourself. You had no way of knowing you wouldn't have had more time.

It sounds like she would have warmed to you coming out to her, and you two would have gotten to a good place.

And btw, you can have kids.[/quote]

We definitely got to a good place. At the hospital, everyone knew me and they let me stay overnight with her even with COVID. They saw that my presence always calmed her down / she would eat more when I was there. It was tiring but rewarding beyond compare. It is when I think of these moments that I look back and say I could have spoken to her about it. I just want to hug her and tell her she is going to be okay again.

Would love to have kids one day. Would love to have a mini version of myself that I can watch grow although adoption is much more feasible. I have to admit I am scared of getting older and being alone, or even reaching old age. I lost both parents to cancer within a year of each other despite having no family history on either side and several relatives that have reached 75-80+, living in sub saharan Africa. Would hate to have kids when I am 40 and leave them as teenage orphans. That is a tangent from the original topic though[/quote]
