:(

Sometimes I think I can't possibly have any more tears left. I have cried so much and so hard the last year that my tear ducts have to be dried up, there can not be a drop of water left inside those things.

Yet, somehow, there are always more. They just start to fall; while I'm driving, while I'm sitting at my desk working on an excel document, while taking a shower, while eating lunch, while reminding myself to breathe, while wrapping a gift, while washing a dish.

Sometimes they are silent tears, sometimes accompanied by very loud sobbing, sometimes I have to struggle for air. Sometimes they last for a few minutes, sometimes for a couple of seconds and sometimes it seems like they are never going to stop.

Sometimes it happens a few days in a row and sometimes it will be weeks in between the tears.

All the time, I miss my babies, I wish they were here, I wish I didn't need to see more doctors or come up with another plan or cry any more sad tears.

I just wish this were different. This road has taught me a lot about myself, I am a very strong woman and my marriage is built on real, unconditional love.

It has also taught me that I have a never-ending amount of tears, tears that will someday be tears of joy.

I wish I had words, or some sort of magic to offer you. Your strength amazes me and is truly inspirational.

I think it's important to not stop being you. There is beauty all around, sometimes you just have to stop and soak it in. Treat yourself!

Apparently my Google reader wasn't picking you up and I have been missing posts. I am so sorry!

I look forward to hearing about all of the test results, and praying that this FET is the one. A sticking embie or 2 would be great!

HUGS. Cry all you want. No shame in it.

I get teary just reading this entry. There's something very therapeutic and cleaning about tears. I've told you this before, but you are one of my heroes.

I feel the same way. I wish things were different. I am glad we have each other for support through these difficult times. I know it's so difficult to keep the hope and faith, but we have to. I believe it will happen for us! We've worked too darn hard for it not to! Love you! <>
