"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength"

Never Forgotten

The infertility community is one of the strongest, close-knit groups I've ever been involved in and without it, there is no way I would've gotten through some of the hardest times of my life. The only way I can ever give back as much I as received, is by doing what it did for me.

I will ALWAYS support anyone I know or come to know that is dealing with infertility and I will NEVER give up on anyone still struggling.

Infertility doesn't just disappear when you get pregnant, it will stay with me forever. Although we look towards the future with Baby Barrett, we will never forget what we went through to get to this place and always fear that it will happen again when we decide to grow our family.
It's been an unbelievably joyful past four and a half months, but it has also had some difficult times as well. To see my close friends and Fertility Friends still struggling and hurting to have their own miracle, while I'm pregnant with mine, has been heartbreaking. The questions of "why?" are still there, as they deserve this happiness as much as I do.

I'll never know the answers and no matter what I say or do, doesn't change things, but that won't stop me from being the support that they unconditionally gave me when I needed it the most.

I have no doubt that their miracle is coming and I will never give up their fight. And best of all, I know they'll always be there for me as well, no matter what our futures will bring us. Whether some of us have our miracles, adopt our miracles, or choose to life child-free, we'll never forget what we all went through and will continue to deal with, for the rest of our lives.
