The last time I saw my friend R we were both pregnant. She was 4 months along and just starting to show. I was just a few weeks and cautiously optimistic.
Fast forward 9 months and neither of us have a baby in our arms. But for very different reasons.
You see, R wasn't pregnant with her own child. In one of the most generous acts possible, she was a surrogate and gave birth to an adorable baby boy. Who now lives with his biological parents many miles away.
Today I am thankful that there are extraordinary people like R who miraculously gave the gift of making a family.
Wow.
