Look in the mirror

I saw what my husband wanted from the beginning and I am sure everyone else saw it too. I knew I was a ticket to america for my husband, but wanted to believe I could make him love me once he was here. Then I looked in a mirror and saw a middle-aged woman only 6 years older than my husband, not bad looking but still I couldn't bring myself to believe I could make a young man love and want to be with me for the rest of his life. When he has never been married, has no children, so he say, and I know I could can never give him any. I made a list of why I should and why I should not. The list of why I should not won and was the longest.
