anniversaries are reminders…whether you are celebrating or mourning. i admire you, meg, for your courage to face life no matter what, the bravery with which you confront challenges that most people would avoid, and the honesty with which you write about your triumphs and (especially) tribulations. i don’t know you beyond the pages of this blog, but i consider it an hono(u)r – the “u” is just for you – to be allowed into your world, even if only through your writing.
wow. i so agree with liz. i don’t know you except thru this blog either. but sometimes i get nervous about writing about my son, that you don’t want to hear about my life, my son or check out his pix on my blog. but then i remember that you love kids.
i admire the strength, courage, and sheer determination to continue that i’ve seen in your writings this year. i just don’t know if i could have done it with as much honor/honour if it had been me.
Wow!!! Such a beautiful peice. You have an amazing way with words!! I am touched with emotion and overcome with pride at the same time to be lucky enough to know you and live above you and Catherine. You know you can always share my husband ok??? and you can always borrow Presley when you need to cuddle a baby. She loves you as do Dean and I. You will be an awesome mum and an even awesomer mum one day!!
Love Karen
woops I meant awesome wife and then awesomer mum!!!
If this were a movie… and sometimes our view of your life is like one… we would be expecting/hoping for our first glimpse of a cute or handsome widower with approximately three youngish children…
Your heart would be exactly what they need.
I/we only hope you will still have time– and the need– to blog.
I don’t know you at all, except through here, and because we share a wicked name. But your writing does something to me, and it’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t afraid to be honest with herself and everyone around her about what’s going on in her life.
I’m sorry you’ve had troubles in the past, but I’m glad you have the sense of humour and the courage to tell us all about it.
I believe there will be miracles.
You’re amazing.
I’m honored to be included…and return the thanks. You’ve stabilized me more than once, loved me even when I was unreasonable, and let me be dramatic when no drama was necessary.
Just a few reasons why I adore you.

You are strong, you are loved.
Great post, Meg. I am sure it seems like it was 20 years ago to you, but I cannot BELIEVE this has been a year. It seems like just months ago you found out the awful news. It sounds like you are moving in a great direction with all this, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.
Stay strong, stay beautiful, and know that you are loved.
Reflections are powerful-
they allow us to see how far we’ve come,
just how much we’re capable of,
and how rich we are.
Beautifully written.
Hello Meg,
It has been quite a while since your post, but as I ran across it yesterday, it is new to me. I don’t know how to thank you for sharing your journey. I googled “single and infertile”, hoping against hope that someone, anyone would have some insight or been in a similiar place. And I found, joy, heartache, fear, courage, and hope. I thought I was the only one.
So often people have downplayed my pain, including myself, because, after all, I don’t have to “worry” about that right now, being single and all. But I do have to “worry”, or at least address it, or it may eat me alive. Your open-hearted words and faith are water to parched lips. Thanks again. May God richly bless you with all the desires of your heart.
