People love to joke that I am lucky to avoid the Christmas chaos.
The toys everywhere.
The elf on the shelf.
The mayhem.
But here is the truth.
I would give anything for that kind of chaos.
I would give anything for a messy living room and a child waking me up at five in the morning to see if Santa came.
Surrogacy is full of waiting and longing and hoping.
So when someone says, “You are lucky you do not have to deal with all that,” it lands differently.
Because the quiet is not a luxury for everyone.
Sometimes the quiet is the hardest part.
If you are on this journey too, I see you.
