the final chapter

As you've probably noticed, things are looking a mighty bit sparse around here. I've packed up all my wares, and I am moving on, dear friends. I started this little blog for the purpose of sharing a very difficult and trying time in my life. Through the ups and downs of my struggle with infertility, a new version of myself was revealed to me. Wiser, more at peace, more patient... someone who I am so proud of and a life that makes me happier than words could ever express. I only wish the same for all of you, no matter what path you take to get there.

I thought about leaving my old blog posts behind, for those just starting on their journey or those seeking positive stories about infertility. At one time, I felt like if my raw pain, hope and honesty could help just ONE person get through their day, then that was worth exposing such a deep part of myself... one I had a difficult time seeing in the mirror some days. Moving all of my old blog entries the past two days reopened the past 2 years for me and I feel like I relived the most poignant time of my life all over again. But at this point, those moments are no longer mine to share. They are my daughter's. The story of her life, of how she became to be.

Take care, friends. Thank you for sharing in such a special time in my life.
