I might add, “You didn’t want to have your ‘own’ kids?”
They don’t know that I very much consider Hope my OWN daughter. They don’t know that I’m not capable of having a biological child. They don’t know a lot of things including how the sting of the comment often hurts so much that I drop a few tears at the first opportunity of being alone.
