I was touched by what you wrote. Bachelor uncles and spinster aunts are to be commended. I almost qualify as the latter since both my sisters have numbers of children, almost of catholic proportions; though one of my sisters claims that all of hers bar number five were failures of contraception. Pull the other one, I tell her, even at age 12 all she ever wanted was a large family - and she got it; though seeing her you wouldn't believe it. She looks fantastic. I don't know how old you are but I dare say there is still time; however, we can't always have what we want. And I often think there is a good reason for it. If you are an uncle, kind and interested, you will be cherished by your nieces and nephews,and remembered most fondly. I loved my uncles - each for their own quirky ways. And, AJ, there is nothing more attractive than a man who not only admits to being close to shedding tears but actually does so. Take heart; you never know who you'll bump into at the next corner.
