An Honor

Both Starfish and Esther have granted me this award for perseverance. I am totally humbled and honored that others think our struggle is noteworthy. To us, there just isn't any other choice. It's not the road we envisioned nor the one we would have ever chosen but it is the hand we have been dealt. At the end of the road are two very precious children, the ultimate reward and worth every tear and every heartache. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!





"You are receiving this honor because you have embodied perseverance in the face of difficulty and shared the journey of your experiences with others proving that a single voice can both be a light of support and a source or humor for those in the midst of their struggle. You are acknowledged here today for allowing others to share in your personal story and providing camaraderie through the power of your words.
Each of you has faced a struggle that seems insurmountable to others and you have persevered. For some of you this resiliency was always a part of your character and for others, it was your struggle with infertility that awakened it from deep within you. Regardless of passion, stubbornness, a calling to a greater purpose or a refusal to admit defeat, you are an eternal flame of commitment. You are a veteran of your circumstances and you deserve recognition for your journey."
