[quote=Anonymous]My favorite aunt never married. She always hoped to but never met the right person. In her mid-40s she adopted my awesome cousin. Both before and after adopting, she had a pretty great life. A fulfilling career, lots of hobbies and travel, etc. Cousin is graduating from college this spring, and aunt just retired. She's looking forward to more travel.

My sister is mid-40s and never married. While she has had romantic relationships, marriage was never a major goal, nor was having children. Like our aunt, she has a pretty fulfilling life. She loves independent travel, and the two of us like to take trips together. And she is an amazing aunt to my kids.

In my dad's family this is something of a trend - at least one never-married person in every generation, going back several generations. My favorite was great-great-aunt Alice, who had a summer house in CT and a winter house in FL and lived off of AT&T stock. She died peacefully of old age just before she had to sell the last of her stock.[/quote]
