Today it’s been nine months since Mom died and I have so many swirling thoughts that surround this milestone. I miss her so much. I think a lot about all that I learned from her in my 48 of her 80 years on this earth. I am inspired by how committed Mom was to living […]

The tech who did the targeted ultrasound on my left breast today said as I was leaving that I got the “best possible outcome,” a benign finding, and I concur! As I shared in my post last night, my focus was elsewhere yesterday, when I got an email with the results of my routine/annual mammogram […]

For awhile I have thought it would be interesting and helpful, especially for those still in the trenches who want more children, to profile other families who have dealt with secondary infertility. Many of these people I got to know during our journey through secondary infertility (via community forums and/or blogs). Being able to share […]
