Hey there, Internet friends. Now that the raging hormones have subsided, here’s what I know:
1. I have some amazing, wonderful, supportive friends out there–some of whom I’ve met and some of whom I haven’t. Thanks to all of you for your very kind words and caring–and for opening up to share your very personal stories. It means more than you can know.
2. I’m very, very lucky to have the life that I do. I’m blessed to have one healthy, beautiful child (who wants to sleep in our bed every night.)
3. As my mother always told me, “It’s not about having what you want; it’s about wanting what you have.” Amen, Mom!
Thanks, everyone, for picking me up out of my puddle of tears, wiping me off, and reminding me that I should be celebrating the people in my life. Screw the pity party!
