Holidays are hard for many people, especially family holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. For a couple living with infertility, the traditions you make together as a young couple seem less fun and not as important when you feel you're missing something.
It is now mid May and yet again, we have been through another empty Christmas, New Years Day, Easter Sunday, our 9th wedding anniversary and Mother's Day.
That last one, and the one to come, Father's Day, those may be the hardest for both of us. I mean a whole day of people on Social Media celebrating their bundles of joy, soon to be bundles, toddlers, tweens, teens and adult children, sharing all of the sweet things they received from them along with photographs. I am very happy for everyone's joy, it is just depressing to think that we may never have that joy...
Yet, we survived. After a few pity parties and tears, we survived and will continue to do so. It just doesn't get any easier.
Thank you to my friends who thought of me yesterday and sent their love. It is appreciated.
