I am truly blessed.
Lucky in ways that most people could never understand.
Because I am literally surrounded by people who love me and support me and will stand behind me.
No matter what.
And I recognize that not everyone has that.
This last year has been hard. This last 6 months terrifying. And these last few weeks… let’s just say I haven’t exactly been the most stable person.
My emotions are on display and everything about me is raw. In a moment I can turn from bubbly and sweet to ravenous and harsh.
And those who love me have stood by and watched. Put up with it. Continued to love me still.
I am truly blessed.
There is nothing that is easy about this infertility process, and I like to bemoan how much more difficult it is without that partner by my side. It’s true; many days I wish there was a man who loved me holding my hand and feeling this with me.
But I have so much more than just one man. I have an army of friends and family who have been so there for me there aren’t even words.
And I know they will continue to be there for me still, even if this entire process doesn’t go as planned.
Even if I crumble in the aftermath.
I am surrounded by some of the world’s most amazing friends. Friends who have picked up the phone to call me and check in every day. Friends who have done anything and everything in their power to make me smile.
Friends who have literally moved mountains to find people to help me when they couldn’t.
I am truly blessed.
I have a father and grandmother who have done everything they can think of to support me and love me through this less than conventional process. I have other family members who I know are rooting for me every day.
This baby of mine is already so loved.
I am truly blessed.
If I don’t say it enough – thank you. You all know who you are, and what you and your support has meant to me. I couldn’t ask for better friends or family. I couldn’t ask for a better support system.
And I wouldn’t trade any one of you for that man by my side.
Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.
