American country and folk legend, Dolly Parton said she is married to her music hence the inability to have children and she doesn’t regret it.
“I haven’t missed it like I thought I might,” the 77 years old singer explained during an interview.
“When you’re a young couple, you think you’re going to have kids, but it just wasn’t one of those burning things for me. I had my career and my music and I was traveling.”
“If I’d had kids, I’d have stayed home with them, I’m sure, and worried myself to death about them,” Parton added.
“I always say God didn’t let me have children so that all kids could be mine,” she said. And, truly, is there anything more mother than that?
Parton is happy that she has been able to do things that touched so many children’s lives through her foundation Dollywood.
