Everyone wants to live a successful life, right? I think I've figured out the only two things I want from this life....
1. To have kids.
I want to be able to say that I pushed parasites out of my lady parts and then watch them grow up and see them make the same exact mistakes I've made.
2. To grow old with someone.
I want to be so old and wrinkly and still be "that couple." The ones who have clearly lived wonderful lives separately, but an even better one together.
Seeing a 90 year old woman surrounded by her friends and family on her birthday, with tears of joy streaming down her face, and a 92 year old man who still stands when spoken to, and drives to shul, will do that to you.....in addition to reading about a young girl who dreamed of growing up and raising a family, but never got the chance to experience life.
This was such an amazing break, for all of the unexpected reasons.
I feel so alive and I'm finally happy.
