These Women

I have these women in my life.  Strong women.  Capable women.  Loving women.  Sacrificing women.  And I'm surrounded and upheld by them.  They came and supported my family when we started down the IVF road and couldn't escape the Boston winter.  They came and supported me with chocolate cake when the doctors thought I was miscarrying.  They came with offers to get Jack out of the house when I was sick in bed.  They came and supported me when I was so swollen and pregnant I couldn't function.  They came and watched my child while I gave birth to by second.  They came and supported me and held my baby while I cried and tried to heal my torn body.  They have come and they continue to come.  They come in many different ways. Some in person, some through phone calls, some through emails and some through the mail, but they come.  And I am stronger, more capable, more loving and more sacrificing because of these women.

And I love you all.
