It's my nephew's birthday today. I've just spoken to him on the phone. His voice is getting darker - no longer squeaky like a little boy's. Can it really be so long since my Taiwanese fellow student called up the stairs to announce the phone call that announced his birth? I wondered then, shall I ever have children myself; where will I be in ten years' time?
Now, more than ten years on, I'm studying again, wondering if I'll ever fully accept I've never had children - and still asking where I'll be in so many years' time.
Nevermind. He sounded confident, strong and happy. The future is bright.
