You Can.

I wish I could tell you the amount of times someone has said to me, "I could never do what you're doing" or "there is NO WAY I could go through that".

I'm here to tell you this: YOU CAN.  And you would.

Many mothers I've spoken to have told me the lengths they would go to for their children.  They would give them anything.  They would go to the ends of the earth to make them happy.  They would die for their children.  I have often said that my fight for my children just happens to have begun before they were even conceived.  And I would be willing to bet, most any woman in my position would echo the exact same feeling.

Many, many women face these same circumstances and do so with Grace and faith.  I aspire to be them.  The community of infertility is strange because there are SO many people going through this struggle - but it's just not talked about a lot.  I am not here to claim that my journey is any harder or easier than anyone else's...that's the thing - how do you quantify this horrible season?  "Oh you want a baby more than she does, so that makes your's harder..."  "Oh you've had 5 miscarriages and she has had zero, so that makes you more of a Mother Warrior..."  These statements are ridiculous and unthinkable.  There is simply no way to justify my journey's difficulty level in comparison to anyone else's.

The simple reality is that this is hard.  And unfair.  And painful.

But, I promise you - you would be able to do it.  If for no other reason that this: there really isn't another option.  I am continually amazed at the strength I have found within myself simply because giving up isn't a viable choice for this Mommy's heart.

If I can do it, you can too.  I promise.
