Holding On


It has been six years ago since my wife and I decided to build a life together. Life has been good and has provided us with everything we need and a few more. Although there is one thing more that we have not attained yet- that is to have a child. On our first year together, she got pregnant twice but had miscarriage on the second and third month, respectively. People around us, especially our immediate relatives, are quite alarmed that she never got pregnant again for the last five years. We couldn't blame them as we ourselves believe the clock is ticking on us, and add to it the fact that we have a huge age gap- at least ten years, with her being younger. However, we also firmly believe that if God don't see us fit to have a child yet, then so be it, and just the same if He decides for us not to have any children. At least we still have each other and have stood the test of time holding on to the promise we made then to ourselves- till death do us part.
