[quote=Anonymous]I also have two sons. Sure, part of me is sad about not having a daughter, but my sons are so awesome. I echo others comments about finding ways to be close to them. Mine are teen/tween. One of mine is super outdoorsy (like me) and loves nature. We kayak together, and fish, and hunt for frogs. My other snuggles watching movies, tries to teach me basketball, and is super chatty when we walk the dog together. I’m pretty confident we’ll continue to have a close relationship as they get older. They also have this incredible brother relationship with each other which is so fun to watch.

Yes, I would have loved to see what a daughter of mine turned out like and the kind of relationship I would have with her, but I feel so lucky to have my two boys. I look around at my friends and their relationships with their moms and it’s such a mixed bag; some are close, but many are estranged or tense. I was close with my own mom, but she died when I was 23 so generally have an attitude that we should just treasure whatever family relationships life gives us.[/quote]
