Dear me,
Think back 12 years…
You couldn’t go anywhere without your friends or family asking about your love life.
‘How are you, Karen?’ they’d ask. ‘Are you seeing anyone?’
‘Nope, still single,’ you’d scoff with a hint of sarcasm.
With your 40th birthday less than a year away, you were already treated like a spinster.
Don’t get me wrong, deep down, you always thought that you would get married.
Growing up, you dreamed of that big white wedding and Dad walking you down the aisle.
It’s every girl’s dream, right?
Only, it simply hadn’t happened for you.
A single mum to two children – Niall, now 29, and Evee-Oni, now 22 – you just hadn’t met ‘Mr Right’.
You raised the kids alone and only had a few serious relationships, but they weren’t to be.
At 39, you were happily single. Your family understood that.
