Laughs, Giggles and Playtime!
My husband was getting ready to leave for work tonight. My son looks at him and pulls at his scrub top, and he begins to giggle and squeal. I don’t think he wants Daddy to leave. I don’t either. I look at my Husband. This man who works many sixteen hour days. A man IContinue reading “Laughs, Giggles and Playtime!”
Rebirth
When I look at my son, I see such promise and hope. I understand why Jesus said we should all be like children. My son trusts others completely. He has not learned what it’s like for someone to break his trust. He loves others with every fiber of his being. He has not learned whatContinue reading “Rebirth”
“Not Enough Time”
Im a Mother. I still have a great capacity love. I have so much to give. You deny me the only simple pleasure life has. The whole reason for marriage.

Could it be!?” I grabbed my keys and was out the door as quickly as my feet would carry me. IContinue reading “IV. Chasing Dreams- What the hell is this supposed to mean?”
III. Chasing Dreams- Pipe Dreams
We were chasing our dreams, and my dream of being a mother was no longer a possibility. With every passing day, accepting that I could no longer possibly become pregnant became harder. I grew more depressed. Every time my wonderful little red friend would visit, it was a reminder of my failure. My infertility. IContinue reading “III. Chasing Dreams- Pipe Dreams”
II. Chasing Dreams- Infertility
It hit me like a box of rocks, and it hurt. It really hurt! I sat there, on the couch looking at my one and only soul mate. I burst into tears. “What’s wrong?” He asked. “Today, at the Doctor’s appointment they told me I couldn’t have children.” I sobbed even harder. He huggedContinue reading “II. Chasing Dreams- Infertility”
Chasing Dreams- Love
We were chasing our dreams. We met in the most unlikely place. At work. Your eyes met mine more than once that day. It was love at first sight. We sat down. to chart, and we began to talk.
