Never Give Up

I had a wonderful day running errands today. Felt good to get out of the house while there was still sunshine. I bought lunch and a few movies to watch for the evening with the dog & maybe watch again with the husband later. I put The Odd Life of Timothy Green on and had no idea what i was in for. I was in tears the first 20 minutes of the movie. If any of you have seen it, you may already know. The couple find out that they cannot have children after trying for many years. They take the same quiet and emotional drive home i remember taking after leaving the doctors office after finding out our baby had Gastroschisis. This part of the movie really hit close to home for me. Going back to that day, all i could remember doing was breaking down and just wanting to give up. In the movie, the couple sit down and joyfully write down all the things they wanted in a kid. The one thing they write down first is that their child will never give up. After all the crying i went through, all the pain, and all the emotions that came out of me, i had to keep telling myself not to give up. This movie really touched me. I dont want to spoil anymore of it for anyone, just have a watch. I never did write about those series of events that took place the day we found out something was wrong with our baby either. I dont think i could anymore only because i look at it so positively now. Its been over two weeks now and i learned to take something so scary and turn it into something so beautiful. We have so much hope and so many plans for our little girl now. And its only because we chose to Never Give Up.
