mother's day

Today I am extremely grateful to be celebrating my first mother's day with Dahlia. I am also extremely grateful for Dahlia's donor's mother, who had the compassion and love to say "yes," while experiencing every parents worst nightmare. Today my heart goes out to this special mother and I hope she has been able to find comfort and peace on what was surely a bitter-sweet day. I am thankful for my other children, who have had to go through a lot this past year. I am also thankful for my mother, who put her own life on hold in order to spend countless hours in the hospital with me and Dahlia!
