I found love late in life, the good strong lasting kind of love I mean. Which meant my dream of having a family was on hold until my 30's. Now married and 40, after 3+years of trying, I am a mom to a beautiful baby girl.

M Day.
Infertility sucks and it particularly sucks at this time of year. I think in the past I have just kept my head buried in the sand and tried not to notice the big fuss that is made about this day. It was just too painful to let in. I was at the grocery store today and the cashier told me to have a wonderful mother's day. There are ads on tv and on the radio, even on the 'net. Every time I see something or hear something, my heart hurts a little for the women who have not had their dreams come true yet. I want to say to those who are still reading who are in the midst of IF crap I will be thinking of you and wishing that this time next year you will be celebrating with me.
That is very sweet of you! Today I will celebrate with my parents and partner, a High Tea at the waterside, on a sunny terrace.. We will completely ignore the stepmother side of me and that is fine. Enjoy little G!
ReplyDeleteAmen. Very well put. I agree with your feelings. It's sweet to celebrate and bitter sweet to remember prior years. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. I sure hope things look different a year from now too...
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to us! So weird to say that. Still doesn't seem real ... even with the baby here!
