“Were they 6 other babies? Were they cysts? Were they something that formed to protect the baby? I like to think they were her guardian angels, making sure I didn’t lose another baby.”
“For the first time in a really long time, I told myself how lucky I was. I actually mouthed the words. I didn’t know what I’d done to deserve it, but I had it all. And then exactly five weeks and one day later, it all came crashing down. That 3cm tumor on his pancreas would end up taking my strong, sweet man, leaving me and my children alone.”
“On the day I was not sure how much more grief I could bare. It was the right thing, at exactly the right time. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence, friends.”
“‘You can make it a day at a time.’ Little did I know I would use this message again and again.”
“My heart is still broken, the pain is still real, and my tears still flow. But if I can do this, so can you.”
“In a matter of 6 months, I became a wife, stepmom, and immigrant in a country whose customs and language were completely different.”
“When I tried heroin for the first time, I felt what I imagined the love of a mother must feel like, like a warm hug from the inside out. I believed I had finally found security and love.”
“I didn’t know her, but we all know a lot of hers.”
“As I stand here staring at this unforgiving pink line, I can’t help but ask the question why.”
“My dad taught me no one is ever too big or too bad to love and people do change.”
