Life is half spent

Life is half spent before one knows what life is. – French Proverb

A good friend got married last weekend. It was a fabulous wedding, held outdoors on a picture perfect evening. It’s his second marriage. Neither have children but his new wife is 7 months pregnant. I’m thrilled for them and look forward to enjoying their parenthood.

I found myself wondering what my life would be life if I’d waited till I was 40 to get married and start having kids. I probably would’ve been a better dad and husband, but I can’t be sure of that. Years of bachelorhood might have screwed me up in ways lots worse than I already was.
