One year ago we were chosen.
One year ago we were giddy with excitement.
One year ago we prepared.
One year ago we met an extraordinary woman and her mother.
One year ago we were invited to a last doctor's appointment and heard a heartbeat.
One year ago we nervously stood outside an OR waiting for news about mom and a baby.
One year ago we were stunned speechless when baby was born very ill.
One year ago decisions about bringing baby into Canada were made for us.
One year ago we cried tears of pain as we said good-bye to a woman we had hoped would become a part of our family...and to a baby with an uncertain future.
One year ago we traveled south with an empty car seat...and traveled home with an empty car seat.
One year ago my heart broke like it never has before.
One year later I am in a very different place.
But the experience of one year ago is a part of my story. My journey.
I will never forget.
