It has been awhile since I have written, and before I wrote this time I wanted to get to know everyone a little better, so I read back over the last almost two years of this Thread. I can't tell you Ladies just how much I laughed and cried over the struggles of most of your lives. It took me two evenings, but I finally finished reading this morning.
Crystal... You are one strong woman, and I have read time after time, you building up every single woman that writes on this Thread, while you sit silently back and wait patiently for a child of your own. Your one beautiful person.
Andrea.. Woman, I wish I had a handful of your perseverance. You deserve a child. You have earned it with the fight you put forth every single month.. I have never met anyone who loves their family as much as you. I have never really liked most women, but I admire you. Your heart is feisty and sure.
Jo.. Your struggle broke my heart, and I read as one loss became a gain. Not that one child can replace another, but without the gift of restored tubes there would have simply been an immeasurable loss. Your stubborn and proud. As I read your posts and saw the loss of your beautiful young man, I knew what a deep loss it was indeed, if your Daniel was anything like his stubborn Momma. Your such a fighter.
Melissa H. I don't know how you sat back with your beautiful little daughter in your belly and stood strong for your Mother. Gosh, you simply made my heart sing for the giving away of your own wants for the needs of someone else. I can't imagine knowing I was losing my Mom, she is my love and my best friend. You are precious among women to give despite yourself.
Jasmine.. You are quiet. Your temper neither burns too hot nor too cold. I like your easy nature. I cannot wait to see your little son. I have enjoyed reading about your days.
Floppy.. I don't know why you picked that moniker, but you are as steady a servant of God as any I have met. You definitely do not 'flop'. ; )) Your little Azaria is precious.
AngelBaby... I pray you get your Baby. Your struggle is one I hope I get to continue being a part of.
Mrs. C.J. Woman, I like your pluckiness. Your like the Energizer battery, for sure. Your struggle has been long, and I hope you get to give your Husband the Daughter you want to give him. Your attitude reminds me of my Mother. Steady and strong and persistent.
There are a few other girls from this (original) thread I enjoyed reading about, but some of them have not posted in a long season. I just wanted to tell you 'Original' ladies that my admiration for you all in 'ttc' is great. My admiration for you all as 'women' is amazing, and my admiration for you as beautiful human beings is immeasurable. You all have definitely made an impact on my life after reading your amazing stories of struggle and joy and loss. It was like a Lifetime movie in real life. Thanks for helping me grow with your stories.
For all the new women on this Thread. I am definitely looking forward to letting your stories shape my growth as a better person. Love and lots of prayers and Baby dust to everyone.
