Here's what I mourn I missed out on. I was pregnant when I graduated from high school and never had these moments, at least not as a free and easy young person. It messed all my life up. The stages I started to go through as a young single woman began when I was 30 with three children. It was good but different. My advice: Wait to have children until you are good and ready! If you can help it. You become a different and more responsible person, not so carefree after that. Excellent article, Sally!
