The Loss of a Dream

I just saw this on Pinterest tonight.  Yes, my Friday night is exciting.  Tonight's single parenting is brought to you by "fantasy football draft."  At least I think that's what he called it....could have been "sausage fest," serving up some franks and beans for all I know.  It's been a long day, I can't remember.  Anyways, I'm totally off track now.  New paragraph...
In my opinion, this quote is stated SO PERFECTLY.  Personally, I have been blessed beyond all measure being given the opportunity to be Khloe's mom, but before that miracle happened I knew this pain very well and I am extremely empathetic to anyone experiencing this pain.  Maybe I wasn't all that great at explaining how I felt during that time - I don't recall ever using the term "loss" - but this nails it.  Spot on.  "Infertility is a loss.  It's the loss of a dream."  Until you are given the chance to live out that dream and to have that future that you've always wanted, the pain that you feel is that of loss; over and over, like a roller coaster ride.  My heart literally aches for all of my friends (and acquaintances) that are currently going through the struggles of infertility.  I pray for you all regularly.  I pray that one day soon, the time will be perfect and God will give you the desires of your heart.  And I believe that timing will be absolutely perfect - you will see.  Psalm 37:4 and Matthew 7:7-8.  Keep asking, keep praying.
