aww. i'm sorry, forrest.
you know, i don't know if this will help at all, but it helps me sometimes. my best friend got pregnant with her first the first month ttc. now, she's 8 weeks pregnant with her second child after 2 months ttc. i know she loves her kids, but she's never had to struggle for them. she calls them "miracles," but after talking to her, i realize that she doesn't truly realize how fortunate she is.
i know that when i finally get pregnant and have my baby, i will know how hard it was to wait and wait and wait, and that i finally have a true miracle in my arms.
this has been my favorite quote for over 20 years, when i read 'the count of monte cristo' in the 6th grade. this quote has helped me through so much - my crohn's disease diagnosis and now, unsuccesfully trying to get pregnant. it will happen for us, forrest. just not today
"As for you, Morrel, this is the secret of my conduct towards you. There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of living. Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget that until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words, - `Wait and hope.'"
