What was a difficult time in my life (Day 20)

Probably the hardest time in my life was when the specialist told us we would never have a child on our own.  There are lots of medical options, but the problem is that insurance (at least here in Indiana) vary rarely pays anything for the treatments.  It was literally a time of grieving the (potential) loss of the child we would never have.  At literally thousands of dollars it would take us years and years to save up the money for something that might not even work.  Years of waiting for a take-home baby (as I had experienced a miscarriage during the process) makes Luke even that more special to me.  We’d like for him to have a sibling, but knowing how he literally beat the odds, we’re enjoying every moment knowing he might very well be our only child.
