fie years ago today, I was starting a family. Not my own family, at that point I thought my own family was complete. Life had other plans for me, but that's a post for a different day. Today is for celebrating the birth of two beautiful boys and the beginning of an amazing family that I had the honor of helping grow. That family was years an years in the making, I just stepped in at the end to help grow two previous little boys who are the apples of their daddies eyes.
Laying in that hospital bed, seeing the joy and wonder in those daddies faces I never imagined that I would be in the midst of a second journey. Yet here I am, impatiently waiting for paperwork and legalities to be finished so that I can start meds and begin this wonderous process in earnest. I can't wait to see the joy on the new parents faces when twir family grows, but I am thrilled to wish Filip and Lukas a very happy Fifth birthday! They aren't my children, but tht did change my heart and my life forever with their arrival.
