I would have loved to have had grandchildren.

13. My Mother's family is also

Irish Catholic. But both her Mother's and her Father's families were hit by everything from the Galveston Hurricane to the kkk to yellow fever, cholera, and typhoid. And the wars of course. And there was the abusive priest of course, so my sister only had one son.

Now we are down to my sister and I, two older cousins and a niece and a nephew. My nephew will never have children and my niece, who has moved to France with her French-Moroccan husband is never going to have children either. When I was much younger my
oldest, and wisest, cousin told me that he
would never have children because they would
only be servants to the rich. I was told in school that I would burn in hell for being gay.
When I see where the world is going, I think that burning in hell for all eternity is a small price to pay for not having brought children into this world. And for the instructor who told me that gays should be killed, go ndeine an diabhal áradh de cnámh do dhroma ag fómhar péitseog i ngairdín ifrinn. May the devil use your spine as a ladder to harvest peaches in the garden of hell.
