But I still can't help feeling a small glimmer of hope. As you say, while we breathe, we hope and the best way to look at things is to just enjoy the moment and be grateful for the opportunity of IVF and the miracles of science and a 'little helping hand'!BWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678105236745432509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668667953725377101.post-80712795984942909592011-12-14T12:36:59.496-05:002011-12-14T12:36:59.496-05:00Absolutely amazing post! Such a beautiful song. Yo...Absolutely amazing post! Such a beautiful song. You wrote almost exactly how I feel better than I ever could. Having hope is what I have been focusing on.<br /><br />I think you are right when you said "I'm realizing that maybe it's fear that causes that love-hate relationship with hope" Fear gets in the way of lots of things. Being able to push through it is difficult and I am so happy you are doing it!<br /><br />I hope you don't mind, I would like to link your post in one of my future posts.Emily @ablanket2keephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398858102692984237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668667953725377101.post-54045913857177879282011-12-14T07:22:37.194-05:002011-12-14T07:22:37.194-05:00This post echos my post on Divine intervention rat...This post echos my post on Divine intervention rather nicely. Hope and a higher power - for me - go hand in hand. I love the metaphor in putting you trust in hope and letting her lead. Sounds like you were able to take a deep breath and say Ahhh....such a revelation! Sometimes we get to stuck on fear and the what-ifs, we forget how free we could feel by trusting hope. I am getting closer to having this epiphany myself - just not quite ready to give up fear and worry. Hopefully one day soon, I'll be able to have such an inspirational post!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700515921385894450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668667953725377101.post-51859127370474126482011-12-13T20:03:02.934-05:002011-12-13T20:03:02.934-05:00Thank you so much for writing this.

I am also almost paralyzed by fear sometimes and terrified to hope and move forward in case i get hurt again. <br /><br />This is an amazing post and something I may link to on my blog if you are okay with it. You put into words everything I am fighting to believe. <br /><br />Thanks for writing this now, when my heart is so fragile and afraid.<br /><br />Alissa (MissConception)ADSchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972164121690415796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668667953725377101.post-43553559041322694892011-12-13T18:21:49.118-05:002011-12-13T18:21:49.118-05:00I love the song.

Over the past couple of years, disappointment has become way too familiar while it seems hope is reserved for the lucky ones. But those words remind me that life itself is hope. And with that, you remind me as to why I get out of bed every morning.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668667953725377101.post-25985651830076337492011-12-13T14:06:57.680-05:002011-12-13T14:06:57.680-05:00I will definitely dream with you.
