Життя
Я познайомилася в лікарні з жінкою 70-ти років. В неї немає дітей. Причому, не народжувала вона усвідомлено. Я дізналася, чи не шкодує вона
Хочу з вами поділитися своїм цікавим знайомством. Сиділа я в черзі в лікарні до дерматолога. І розговорилася з досить цікавою жінкою. Їй зараз 70-т років. Виглядала вона охайно, доглянуто. Не як старенька.

Вона свідомо вирішила зробити кар’єру і пожити по повній для себе. Перший раз вийшла заміж в 20 років. Чоловік дітей до її 30-ти років не просив. Потім, коли він завів розмову про дітей, то розлучилася з ним. Галина, так звали цю жінку, встигла побудувати кар’єру, об’їздити весь світ, одягнутися в бутиках Франції. Коли їй було 60 років, її другий чоловік пішов з життя. І Галина залишилася одна. Зараз вона ходить на гурток по співу і танців, почала займатися фінською ходьбою. Активно стежить за своїм здоров’ям.
Я у неї запитала: – А ви все-таки не шкодуєте, що не родили дитину. Зараз б не були самотні в старості?
– Знаєш, люба, ні, не шкодую. Тому що всі мої подруги, батьки дітей. І знаєш що? Вони зараз самотні. Але, на відміну від них, я хоча б можу оплатити собі людину, яка мені продукти принесе і склянку води, коли я хворію. А про них навіть рідні діти не подбають.
Чи згодні ви з Галиною?
There’s No Such Thing as Coincidence Four years had passed since Agatha’s mother died, but she still remembered the unbearable grief, especially the evening after the funeral, with her father crushed by sorrow in their big, solid English home. At sixteen, Agatha did her best to adapt; years later, after qualifying as a paramedic, she lived alone in the family house while her father, Ivan, now remarried, settled with his new wife Kate and her two children in a nearby village. On her father’s birthday, Agatha arrived in a beautiful dress and heels, smiling as she handed over a gift—only to be met with Kate’s blunt announcement: “Your father won’t be supporting you anymore; you’re old enough to manage, he has a new family now.” Ivan tried to defend his daughter, but was silenced by Kate’s complaints. After a fraught celebration, Ivan and Kate soon visited Agatha to propose selling her beloved family home. Kate, cold and sharp, insisted it was only fair—her own children needed space, and Agatha, now an adult, could manage alone. Hurt, Agatha refused, standing her ground. Ivan, torn between loyalty to his daughter and his new wife, grew increasingly uneasy. Things darkened further when Agatha was unexpectedly abducted near her home by a stranger who threatened her into signing away her share of the house. “In our business, there are no coincidences,” he sneered, forcing documents into her hands. But police, alerted by Agatha’s fiancé Arthur—a local officer—arrived in time to rescue her. The plot, it turned out, was masterminded by Kate and her lover, desperate to claim Agatha’s home and the money it would bring. With the truth revealed, Ivan divorced Kate and returned to his daughter, filled with regret but hopeful for the future. Agatha found happiness with Arthur, and their family—though smaller—grew closer than ever within the cherished old house. A reminder that in life, there’s no such thing as coincidence—only choices, love, and the courage to stand by what matters most.
