One of the most difficult aspects of this journey has been our inability to give to others in the way we so desire. Wade and I are givers, and we enjoy lifting others up in every possible way. With the heavy emotional, physical and financial burdens of infertility, all of our resources have been depleted for quite some time. As a result, we've been on the receiving end much more than we anticipated. We never imagined we'd go through every single treatment in the book and have only losses to show for it. Now that we are in "limbo"--waiting for God's call, we once again have the time and energy to give of our hearts and resources.
Earlier this week, I began sending cards and letters to friends and loved ones. Although it's not much, it's a step in the right direction. It feels so good to be on this end--praying, loving and giving. Of course, our process of grieving continues, especially with the recent death of my Gram. Our heartfelt thanks to those who have supported us in such thoughtful ways. Our appreciation for lovely cards and emails, to Stacy for a beautiful hand-made bracelet, thanks to the Wichts for their generous gift, and thanks to the Memmelaars for the thoughtful Parade Rose.
We are so fortunate to have such loving neighbors, friends and family.
May you all be richly blessed. ~Ramona
