“I’ll always remember the mornings you crawled into my bed in the dark. Holding each other tight on our first ever flight. And all the tickles I gave you.”
“Many kids in my generation were coached to be seen, not heard; to assimilate and not make waves. Not my Jade!”
“My toddler started yammering on her plastic phone, then sent a text to Elmo and checked her emails. I wondered, was I a poor role model for my child?”
“The medical team would crowd around her and all we could do was stand back and watch the numbers on the monitor get smaller and smaller.”
“I was scared of how my life would change. I wasn’t sure this was what I wanted. And every time someone asked if I was excited, I couldn’t really say yes. And yet, I didn’t feel like I could say that. I didn’t have the space to express that because so many others are struggling to get pregnant.”
“We looked at the empty formula shelves and he started to cry, tears rolling down his face. ‘I don’t know what to do, this is the only formula she can tolerate and she has to have high calorie.’ This dad drove all the way from the beach after going to all the Walmarts and Targets there.”
“We have been through some of the toughest hurdles imaginable.”
“We love and appreciate the dads of the world who are making a difference in their children’s lives!”
“I hope for you to be real.”
