I treated myself to a manicure today.....(all these vitamins are making my formerly pathetic nails STRONG!)  And the lady asks me if I'm married....

Me: Yes.
Her: How long?
Me: Almost 4 years.
Her: Do you have any kids?
Me: No
Her: .why?
Me: Why?  OK, I'll tell ya.......

So after I tell her, as she's filing away on my nails, she bursts into tears and starts telling me all about how she struggled to have a baby and she gave up after she turned 40.  Her voice was shrilling and everyone was looking at us as both our eyes filled with tears.  She told me not to give up because she will always regret throwing in the towel.  Breaks my heart.  I gave her a hug and a big tip :)
