Some Days Are Better Than Others

Today was not one of those days.

I've been doing really well - better than ever, in fact. But every so often something comes along and reminds me that those various stages of grief don't have an expiry date and don't happen in order.

And it's funny how my mantra has changed over the years. When I started this journey, it was about getting pregnant. "I just want to get pregnant." Eventually, it became about wanting a baby. And now, it's about wanting to be a parent. Certainly, these are all variations on a theme - but it's been interesting how the desire/focus/wish has changed slightly.
