"In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with eight different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all these changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather, he loved, fully, every new woman she became." ~ Anonymous

True love is about deep respect, it's about accepting the other without wishing they were different. It's not easy but worth working on. Mindful Love & Acceptance Always! 🙏💯💖

Saturday: date afternoon to the market, dutch 'appeltaart' with my love 💙, preparations.... and choosing art.

Feeling so very blessed 🙏💙❤️💙❤️ - to have come this far in our secondary infertility journey of 12 years. For 14 years we have been incredibly blessed with our gorgeous son, inside and out, Luke. The love he has shown me the past months has blown me away. He is a kind hearted, funny and sarcastic, wonderful young gentleman who makes us so very proud. Life will change the coming weeks - the 3 of us are very excited... and can still hardly believe it.

The mystery of our long-standing infertility was solved by the wonderful doctors at - the solution was quite straightforward - doc said try this for 10 days and then we hope for Bingo with our very last embryo: I was to take a 10 day antibiotic treatment for an infection they found in the lining of my womb - an infection that comes about in women who have had a caesarean or contraceptive coil/device. We got Bingo!

I remain committed to openly talk about the subject of motherhood, grief and infertility, because I know there are so many people who suffer in this space.... indescribable grief from baby/child loss, struggles with miscarriage, a long-standing desire to be a mother, challenges conceiving, not having known your mother, or feeling judged for not wanting to be a mother. By talking I believe we can help others.

To be listened to and to be heard is one of the greatest gifts we can receive from another human being. I am forever grateful to Jan Devyver, a psychologist at university hospital Antwerp who listened and encouraged us to have hope and to try again, without whom we would never have stepped back on the IVF train. His words will stay with me forever: "You are in the best country in the world for treatment, and I want you to look back in one year's time and be able to say say you tried everything you could" - to have closure one way or another.

Thank you Jan, thank you Dr. Christophe Blockeel and the entire team 💛

The only wish I have this Christmas is that you find peace. Peace in your heart. Love is truly all we need, and it is all around us.

If we give love, we receive love.

I hope my wish reaches you. ❤️
