“Something was clearly wrong. Mac looked pale and the boy who was the life of every party, didn’t even make it 20 minutes.”
“‘Mac’s been waiting for you.’ As hard as it was going to be to lose him, watching him like that was even harder. I knew I didn’t endure this for nothing. One day I’d go back and make a difference within those hospital walls.”
“The truth is, there’s no agenda for loss. No timeframe for recovery. No amount of seasons that will make it different.”
“Jason was in the middle of a divorce. My life felt like a series of breakups. So you can imagine my skepticism when someone wanted to fly down to take me on a date without having met him in person before. But it’s when you stop having expectations that life begins to unfold into the beautiful story it’s meant to become. At least it did for me.”
“It is okay, and healthy, to mourn the loss of memories and my culture and heritage. At the same time, I can celebrate my adoption story and the unique journey I am living out.”
“My dad wasn’t involved much with us this side of heaven, so the heaven-sanctioned league makes me feel like they have their own connection.”
“My struggle should not take away from your happiness.”
“We had now lost our second baby. We only had one embryo left, and one last chance at having a biological child.”
“It’s been almost 2 years since they lost their mommy. I used to fight it. I’d tell them they’d get better rest in their own beds. To give it a chance. That their beds are more comfortable than my floor. It took me almost 2 years, but I get it now.”
“We used to proudly say we knew each other for over half of our lives. But as mine continues to go on, I live with pervasive thoughts of knowing it was only ever half for her.”
