Thanksgiving isn’t always picture-perfect like it is on TV where there’s a big, happy family gathered at a big, beautifully dressed food-stuffed table, but it is always a day we can step back and be thankful for those things in our lives that are most important to us. Going through your struggle with infertility isn’t easy, and you’ve probably spent more than your fair share of tearful moments – I know I have. It may be hard sometimes, to feel lucky, to feel like we have much to be thankful for, when we’re so consumed by that which we don’t yet have – the key word we should hold on to there is “YET”!
Today, I am mindful about the things I have to be thankful for. I am thankful for the love that surrounds me and the hope that I manage to hold on to, because of the spirit-lifters in my life. I’m thankful for modern medicine, that I don’t have to sit back and wallow in sorrow – because there is hope. With that, I’m thankful for my husband that has worked his fingers to the bone so we could afford treatment, and gives his last breath of energy to lift me up when I feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. There are so many other things I’m thankful for – I usually just forget to remember!
