Having it all

Prompt: What does it mean to have it all? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I don’t think it’s possible to have it all and I don’t think having lots of money has anything to do with achieving that.

When I lived in England I had my family. My husband, Mum dad, and brothers and their wives. I probably thought I had it all then.

But we left the country and emigrated to Australia, there we made a life for ourselves with our three children. Was it then I had it all? No, because the rest of my family were on the other side of the world.

But I was satisfied enough to think I had all that really mattered.

But as the years have passed, there have been rifts between family members, divorces, children’s allegiances tested and the fabric of family has been torn.

But my husband and I are still together after sixty years of marriage and we’re both in reasonable health and that is more than many people have.

So do we have it all now? Probably not, but this will have to do.
