Sharing this music video I saw today... I hope it isn't too much, I cried a lot watching it, but I think it is good to just see someone else going through the pain we are going through and truely understand. The music video is for Hilary Weeks song "Faith in the Middle" and shows a couple struggling with infertility and trying to find faith and hope in the midst of the pain.
