It was my husband, that saved me over and over again. Without him, I wouldn't be able to sit here and write this today. He is the best father and husband I could ever have asked for.
He never once gave up on me. It is because of his unwavering love, and support for me, that we have been blessed again and again with more biological reproductions of ourselves. We never gave up on our dream of having a large family, even though it cost us years of struggle and heartaches. Who knew building a family could hurt so much?
