"we must be willing to let go of the life we have planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us"
Well said.
People ask often "what are we doing about our infertility" or "are we considering..." this and that... adoption, foster, treatment, etc... But no one asks if we are happy being just the two of us.
I guess that is what we have been focusing on this past year. Us.
Society tells us that it's not enough, but guess what. It is. It's more than enough. Our relationship is weird to most people. We want to spend time with each other, can't get enough it. We use to work together, go to lunch together, drive home together, spend all evening, and not get tired of each other. Today we wish we still were able to spend that much time together.
It's ok to be just "us". I don't know if that will change in the future, but right now, I am happy with what we have. Yes, I had planned and dreamed things to be different, but if I don't let go - I won't appreciate what we have now, and what is waiting for us ahead...
Thank you for sharing your journey. I couldn't have found your blog at a better time. After 4 years of fertility treatments and many dollars spent, my husband and I are in our first year of acceptance of CNBC. It's a daily struggle made easier by strong people like you and your husband sharing your feelings. I hope to be there one day. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAw! Very nice quote. Yes, Why is it that society makes us feel like its not okay to just be husband and wife....?
