Back when we were trying to get pregnant, I felt very alone. I didn't have any "in real life" friends who had difficulties getting pregnant- it was lonely. Seeking more information about infertility, I came across an online support group for infertile women. I found so many women there, just like me, wanting more than anything to become a mother to someone.

Several of these women "graduated", and a few of them even had children the same month as I did! Some did not and although I know it was hard, they continued to offer support to me and I to them as much as we could. I can honestly say that I have true, blue friends in this world- friends who's faces I've never seen!

One friend is married to a children's musician (among this family's plethora of talents), who sent Miss M a care package full of music and threads from her hubs. Madigan is a huge "Fanbot"- I'd offer a better picture as proof but when she's got her "Madigan-bot" shirt on, she's a robot dancing fool....

So I was clap-my-hands-and-laugh-out-loud excited when I read her most recent blogging adventure. Read up, soak it up, and follow along with her.

She's not the only never-been-met friend of mine with an amazing story. Check out April, another friend from the same support group. She's got a daughter close in age to Madigan, and a son that her family is now in the midst of bringing home from Korea. If you'd like to get in on her amazing fundraiser, then I suggest you click on that as well.

I guess if this rambling has any point at all it's this:

Maybe sometimes the things in life that seem to make us feel so empty and isolated in the beginning are actually the things that, given a little time, will make our hearts and lives feel so overwhelmingly full.
