I was like you. Always wanted kids eventually. I couldn't understand the people who didn't want kids (though never rude enough to challenge or question them on it). I did end up having them (but before I get flamed for insensitivity) as I read this article all I wanted to say to the writer is your life already has meaning. Now I understand the people that don't want kids despite very often marvelling at how gorgeous the kids are. Your life already has meaning with or without children. Do all the things that take your fancy and revel in the delight!
Beautiful! So glad you could turn your situation into a positive thing.
