A FEW WORDS OF INSPIRATION <br><br>There are women that become mothers without effort, and though they are good mothers and love their children, I know that I will be better. <br><br>I will be a better mother not because of genetics, or money or that I have read better books. But because I have struggled and toiled for this child. I have longed and waited. <br><br>I have endured and planned over and over again. Like most things in life, the people who truly have appreciation are those who have struggled to attain their dreams. <br><br>I will notice everything about my child. I will take the time to watch my child sleep, explore and discover. I will marvel at this miracle everyday for the rest of my life. <br><br>I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold and feed and that I am not waking to give myself another injection of profasi and cry tears of a broken dream - my dream will be crying for me. <br><br>I count myself as lucky in this sense, that God has given me this insight, this special vision with which I will look upon my child that my friends will not see. <br><br>Whether I parent a child I give birth to or a child God leads me to..... I will not be careless with my love. I will be a better mother for all that I have endured <br><br><br>ORIGINS UNKNOWN

How true. No one who has gone thru what we all go thru will appreciate a child that we will hopefully have. <br>I lost a pregnancy last year ( ectopic) that was completely unexpected but oh so welcome. I pray and hope that my next cycle returns that joy and elation again.

Made me cry too and summed up how I feel. For all the pain, it is a special gift to truly know how much we and or partners yearn for our little ones. Others may never know - it just happens and life carries on but do they ever really appreciate properly? I know I always will and in a strange way I am grateful for that. Thanks for sharing, Cherylx
