T o My Dearest Friend
Life thrust us into the same situation. You were there before me; while I was waiting to meet my bashert you were already journeying trying to achieve the goal we all want to reach after marriage.
Finally I met my wonderful husband and on my wedding day you were in my tefillos all the time. I had no clue what it meant to wait for children but I understood that it’s painful and I did not stop davening for you. At my mitzvah tantz when I cried for my own life you were foremost in my mind.
I innocently believed that within the next few months we would both be en route to parenthood. Little did I know that my blissful dreams would be shattered that month after month would became year after year. You too remained in the same situation as the years went on. I turned to Hashem crying to Him begging Him to help you and me. I cried into my pillow late in the night.
More time passed we started going down the medical route trying other alternatives. Our hopes rose and then fell as month after month the answer was negative. There was pain sorrow the bewilderment of a life that wasn’t following the prescribed course. We worked on emunah on strengthening our connection with Hashem.
