That is a nice thought Marcy, it tells that you love and cherish what you already have.
After four, my wife did not want any more children. She is an only child and I am from a family of ten siblings.
Six years ago, while working with youth in Guyana, we met a ten year old boy, who said it was more important to give a gift to his poor friend, than keeping it for himself.
This year we continue helping his family sending him to high school. A few months ago, he went swimming in a trench with some friends after school and he drowned. He was an only child and his parents are having a terrible time coping with his passing.
While working with youth and see the troubling things they do innocently, it reminds me of our own kids and when they die, the feeling is the same as our own children.
