To my precious "in real life" friend who is newly pregnant after years of infertility and a recent (and emotional painful) third miscarriage--I say HURRAH! You are a brave woman and I love you!
For everyone out there who is struggling to stay "open to life."
After infertility....
miscarriage....
a failed adoption...
infant death....
or a scary, bone-rattling ride with an older child through Children's National Hospital,
my strong Carmelite prayer for each one of you is:
"if you get the chance, to sit it out or dance...
I hope you dance!"
Because babies are worth the risk!
