For all of the fighters

Thanks to one of my dear friends for sending this picture. Sometimes it feels like the battle is overwhelming and that it would be easier (and cheaper!) to give up, but good friends make it a little more bearable.

Knowing what to say to someone struggling with "baby issues" (again, I hate the word infertility) can be frustrating. Just knowing that someone is there for you and loves you is enough. Having people stand by you, surgery after surgery, says everything. The most encouraging things people have said to me help me focus on having strength, courage, and faith, three things necessary to even keep my head above water.

So, quite simply, thank you.
