No kids, by choice. Both parents were only children, so no aunts, uncles or cousins. One beloved brother who died last year. He had two kids, but one died by suicide 8 years ago. The other lives halfway across the country. We used to be close, but he has his own life now.
It's lonely having no blood family left. So, I've adopted my own chosen family, right down to four grandkids, who call me Grandma. And one loving woman who I've called "Mom" for many years.
No regrets not having children, but I do wish I had more than one blood relative.
