Re: : I'm home

I couldn't help but relate to this. I was 31 when I had the same

procedure...and had three children, although at one point in my life, I had

planned to

have four. I was sure I would not have anymore since my last pregnancy was so

difficult, and I realized I only had two hands and three kids. BUT....when the

reality of the situation set in, I did grieve the loss of my choices. This

may not hook up for you...but it is the same when my father died last year. I

did not grieve for the man, but grieved for the father I never had. Thus, more

tears! We can grieve for different things under the same circumstances. So,

your tears were very valid! Once I realized I was IN that situation..and was

past the tears, the fact that I didn't have to practice birth control anymore

was quite a bonus in spontaneity! LOL!

PS...ceep...I wore white pants the other day....and was bragging about your

little saying about being able to wear it with impugnity...and guess what? I

got dirt all over the front of my white pants...UGH! But that wasn't nearly as

embarrassing as what could have been, once upon a time!
