Thank goodness for good neighbors

I had a coffee date with Gaston's mama today. Oh my. She is such a blessing in my life! I was able to see pictures of her baby Kyle, her precious baby who tied a knot in his own umbilical cord last month. She is sad for sure, to be without a baby she can hold and sing to every day. But she is not discouraged. "Amiga!" She says, "We will have our angel babies yet!" Wow. I need to hang on to that enthusiasm. There is no reason why we won't. My fears, although rational, are the only thing holding me back. Isn't it worth fighting for? Thank you God for putting us in each others lives! I have someone in the flesh that I can speak with and vent and cry to. Someone who can slap me back into reality and call me on my foolishness! I hope I can be a fraction of the blessing in her life that she has been in mine.

Appointment with Dr. Karande Monday...I have my list of questions. It grows by the day. If there is one thing I have learned from all of this it's that I will never be passive again. I need to be my own advocate, and now I am armed with information.

Is this the longest winter ever?
