First - lovely look on this layout. Colors and the flowers are perfect. Second - GREAT journaling. This is such an important message to get out there. Why people feel they have a right to ask others of their baby plans are beyond me. I'm one of those you mention in the first paragraph. We tried for 2 years to get a sibling for my son, and everyone was asking about it. I cried so much, but I didn't want to share how hard we were trying. It's personal. Period. We didn't get another child. We managed to decide we were lucky to have one. I can talk about it now, over 20 years later, but back then, it was so hard. Thank you for sharing your story!
@tanteva Oh, I'm so sorry you had to go through that! And I'm sorry it was all made worse by people asking! I feel like we are going towards more awareness on this topic and more respect for other people's struggles and choices, but we're just not there yet ... Thank you for your lovely words!
You are such an eloquent storyteller. Seriously. Your thoughts are so clearly written, and I love that you state what you feel, why you feel it, and why you have the right to feel that way. People do amaze me when they say thoughtless things. I truly don't think for the most part that they are TRYING to hurt someone. I just think they don't think before they speak. Your message reminds people to think. I love too that you made a decision, think of the "consequences", and then counter-argue that point. It's a glorious journal!! Thank you for sharing this and participating in the challenge!
