I am going to post this in the whole board, but you guys deserve it first. We have all have serious blows recently, and sometimes all we want to do is quit. This poem has actually helped me realize that I cant quit just yet. I dont know if it will help you ladies, but I figured I could try...
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but please don't quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a fair and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,-
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
I love this poem. It reminds you that you shouldnt quit because you never know how close you are. And regardless if you think its taking too much time...time is going to pass regardless...might as well use it to try to get what you want. I love you ladies. And even tho it can sometimes seem like a blow when one of us gets that BFP and its not you, just remember that we are ALL clinically infertile. Some of us have a reason, some of us are awaiting one. But with each of us that gets a BFP, it gives us hope that we could be next. We are ALL going to get our BFP. So when someone else gets theirs, that means our turn is closer. With each day that passes, we are one day closer to our BFP. Even though it seems that it is taking forever and will never come...it will be here. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not this month...but if its going to happen...it will happen. We are Closer to our babies with each passing hour, each passing day, and each passing week. And all this hardship we are going through, will make our BFPs that much more special. And our children will be THAT much more loved, and THAT much more appreciated. And we will learn a valuable lesson...if we havent learned it already. Appreciate what you have, and never take ANYTHING for granted...for someone, somewhere...is longing for what you have.
I love you ladies!!!
