“They told me to wait 7 days before taking a pregnancy test, but I couldn’t wait and took one every day. On the 5th day, I saw the faintest line. I started freaking out, asking my parents and sister to look at the test to see if I was dreaming. I wasn’t.”
“For about 5 months I did not set foot outside. I never thought I’d live to see this day.”
“I felt robbed. I felt like life was working against me in every angle possible. I remember asking myself — why me? Why am I being challenged in this way?”
“I’ve forgotten how heartbreaking it all is. Last night I remembered.”
“Why was I letting these idiots make me feel less than I am? I realized something needed to change.”
“The anxiety and paranoia was so overwhelming that most days I would come home from work just sobbing to my husband.”
“What? I’m going to cry. You have my ring? Carl, she has my ring.”
“Before he got sick, we used to joke about ghosts and spirits. He would make fun of me and taunt me with things like Ouija boards.

He laughed and said, ‘Okay, I’ll come back and show you, too.’ And boy, has he been showing me.”
