“Adoption is a calling, not a backup plan.”
“Death didn’t make me love him differently or less, in fact, it may make me love him even just a little bit more.”
“We got each other’s numbers, and from that point on we were glued to our phones texting each other.”
“If you wait long enough, if you stop telling yourself you’re not settling and you wait – this exists. A person who will let you know, from the very beginning, that you’re the person they’re with forever.”
“The day I began packing my sedan to move, I got a phone call. If I had chosen differently, I would not have met my special someone.”
“I wasn’t there to watch him come into this world, but I can’t wait to see what impact he has on it.”
“He knew I wasn’t feeling well. He knew I was exhausted. He knew I wasn’t feeling seen in many areas of my life. And so he took a few extra minutes to let me know he cares. This is what love looks like.”
“Without even realizing it, my whole identity was that relationship. So when the relationship came to an end, I almost did too. I didn’t know who I was, what I liked, or where I was heading.”
“I asked my daughter why she thought Amanda was my girlfriend. She said, ‘Because you are always together, and you look like you love her.’ That was it. We were official and my kids adored her.”
“During the adoption process, when he could see I was having a tough day, he gave me the most powerful advice: ‘Dad, don’t give up hope and keep fighting because we will win!'”
