There is always a train that you do not board, often one that is far more entrancing than the one headed in the direction you need to go.
What journey do you wish you could have taken?
One thought on “The Other Train”
Although I know deep inside me that I would have not been a worthy birth or adoptive mother, I think now in my older age of what I have missed. I have spent much of my life working and playing with children; I have enjoyed those times very much. Now I realize that the bond that forms with parent and child is a strong one and I regret that this has not been part of my life. I’ve compensated for it in various ways, however, so that’s the answer that I will live with.
