And cried about never having grand kids. Never once had she expressed her want for grand kids to me so I can understand her pain if this was a feeling she hid from me.

Later I apologized for bringing it up, and that I won't talk about that kind of stuff as long as she does the same. We both have our wants and unfortunately for her, I take my wants for my life over hers especially when it comes to kid
