I Want What you Have


"I want what you have." That's what my girlfriend said to me the other day and it made me stop in my tracks.  I hate that anyone has to deal with infertility and miscarriages.  It seems so unfair that someone who truly wants a family, can't just have a baby.  Paul and I struggled with it for years, and I remember how hopeless and lonely it felt.  And sometimes I lose track of how lucky I truly am.  I have two healthy, growing boys.  I have the family I hoped and dreamed for, for so many years.  I pray that my dear friend can experience the joy that my boys bring me every day.  And I pray that I don't ever lose sight of how blessed I really am, as I continue to struggle to not sweat the small stuff and never take anything for granted.
