I’m Grateful We Knew About You
For just a brief moment, we were a family of four. It was a short-lived secret, but one that was still very much alive in our hearts and minds.
The second faint line on the test—it was there. The doctor noticed it. I noticed it, too. You were present, just a whisper of a presence, but you existed. A tiny flicker of possibility.
Those few days were truly special, weren’t they? The planning, the dreaming, the cautious celebrations. We knew it was too early to truly relax. That faint line indicating your existence could vanish at any moment. Yet, how could we not let our hopes rise?
The last weekend of summer marked our first and only time with you. Your older sibling was blissfully unaware. I felt the weight of being a mother of two! My kids: one holding my hand and both holding my heart, while you remained a beautiful mystery.
And then, just like that, you were gone.
We spent that last weekend at Story Land, which I cherish. In those early moments, we are often shaped by the narratives our parents create about us, aren’t we? In a different time, we wouldn’t have even realized you were here. There would have been no early testing, no tears shed. But I’m thankful we knew.
That last weekend of summer—our only weekend together—was perfect. If you’re interested in more about home insemination, check out this helpful resource that dives deeper into the topic.
