Let's just say this is one of those things. Okay. This is one of those things. So when I was 25, I found myself in love with a 50-year-old man. Okay. All right. And this 50-year-old man already had children. And at the time, you know, I really wasn't thinking about children.

And we were having a great time. you know, really wasn't worried about the future. But the deeper we got into the relationship, it came up that he didn't want to have children. How long were you dating before you... It came up pretty early on, I would say. And when he said he didn't want to have kids, I kind of heard what she heard, which is like, well, maybe there's still a chance, right?

You know, I think when we're young, we think that we can... maybe change people. And we think that maybe we could inspire a change, right? Like love conquers all and love. But you know, there are some practicalities in life that you do have to consider.

And one of the most important things that my mom has ever told me that Maya Angelou has said is that when somebody shows you who they are, or in this case, tells you who they are, Believe them the first time. That's right. And this applies in this situation. If this man has said to you, I love you, but I don't want to have kids.

I want to tell Alice that sometimes the prayers that go unanswered are the ones you will be the most grateful for down the line. Because I will tell you now, looking back, Thank you, Jesus, that I did not end up going down that path and hoping that this man would change his mind. And, you know, God forbid he did. One of the things he would say, and I got to give him credit.
