Give HOPE a chance to float up

5 years ago it was finally my turn to make my announcement. To announce that finally I was going to be holding a baby in my arms and I wouldn’t have to give it back to it’s Mom. I would be the Mommy. It would be my baby to keep for forever. I just took a breath as tears fall down my face typing this. It’s all I ever prayed for and 5 years ago that prayer was answered. I thought IVF was going to break me...physically and mentally, but it didn’t. And I received the greatest reward for all the pain and hard times I went thru. I got to make my sweet announcement to our family and friends. I’ll never forget that day, 5 years ago, when all the love and excitement was poured over us by our loved ones. But I’m also getting a tug on my heart for those who are desperately wanting to be parents. I see you. I was there. I pray you will be where I am someday soon. Don’t give up. Keep the faith. And remember...

“Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it is the middle that counts the most. You need to remember that when you find yourself at the beginning. Just give HOPE a chance to float up.”
