  • I could never judge anyone who lost a child, or could not have them.  I just can't imagine the pain of losing one.  My grandmother lost her oldest child in a horrific accident and it always haunted her, though she was a very strong woman.

  • so very sad.  A friend of mine had a child 4 months ago. He was born with cancer.  In his 4 short months he's goen through 2 rounds of chemo and more surgeries than anyone should go through in his whole life.  In a few weeks he will have his stem cells harvested.  His parents are so strong through all of this. I can't even imagine living their life right now.  Makes me appreciate my children even on the days they make me crazy.

    Reading stories like hers really makes me appricate the blessings I have with my 3 healthy kids.  So many posts today about how our 3yr olds are driving us crazy.  She only had 28 days with her little girl.  It really puts it all in perspective.  I bet she would give anything to have to deal with a overly tired, opinionated, idependant, tantruming, head strong 3yr old.   Tears stream down my face as I type because I feel guilty. 

    This also makes the deep desire to be a surragate even stronger. I think that has alot to do with my emotions right now.  I want to give someone the baby they so badly want but feel helpless as to how to do so. 

     

  • How awful!! I hate reading about things like this. It does make me hug my kids a little tighter for sure.

    I felt very strongly in the same sense. I seriously considered surrogacy, but after DH and I really discussed it, we decided that it wasnt the right fit for our family as a whole. So, I became an egg donor :)  It has been so fulfilling and the experience has been very humbling.

    that's so awesome! I have had a few friends with my disease or with kids that live with it (or already died of it) get egg donors and/or surrogates since it's genetic. It makes me so happy to know people are out there willing to share to allow other families to complete their family. :]
