6 years ago, I made a wedding vow to raise a family and bring my children up in the church. 4 years ago, I ordered a personalized baby onesie to use one day to tell my husband we were pregnant. 3 years ago, I bought a dress to save and wear as a maternity one.… Continue reading 2018 Infertility Awareness Week: When Hope Hurts
If you think evil is alive and well in today’s world, we can all stop pointing fingers. It’s not because people are gay. It’s not because trans-gendered people want to use a bathroom they’re comfortable in. It’s not because someone threw a rock at a window during a riot.
