I'm not sure that the two things are entirely different. By only dreaming of the past she fails to see ways that the reality could become more satisfying. Right?
When Josh and I were at dinner a couple of weeks ago I found myself asking whether we were mistaken to ever have children. Its a tempting thing to think that life would always be as nice as that evening was, without the kids. Except... except I know that we had other stressers and disappointments and frustrations, and I can only imagine how those would have evolved if we hadn't taken the leap.
The only thing to do is look forward, and have hope.
