I was doing a google search looking to find information about a baby wall ornament my friend gave me when my husband and I were on our adoption journey, (after failed IVF attempts). I just lost that friend to cancer last night and i am now obsessing to remember what she told me about this ornament... Anyway, don't give up hope.

And these loves of ours are right there, up in our space, in our hearts. It just makes sense that it would hurt more than hearing about a stranger's pregnancy.<br /><br />I'm hoping you find some peace about it and tgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12321099986316605080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081793919169564426.post-73649433991476087832010-01-20T17:57:21.569-05:002010-01-20T17:57:21.569-05:00I missed your beautiful words while you were away....I missed your beautiful words while you were away.

It's not easy seeing pregnant women, especially if they are close to you, then it's even harder because (for me) I wanted so badly to be happy for them, but, when I was stilling trying to get pregnant myself, it just hurt so incredibly much to be so close to something that I knew in my heart would never happenNadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219960725085412879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081793919169564426.post-7608001705718035822010-01-17T14:28:39.207-05:002010-01-17T14:28:39.207-05:00I also was struck by the beauty in this post.
