I received the following email maybe a month or so after losing Lexie and Luke. It brought tears to my eyes to even think I knew someone who would be willing to try and give us the greatest blessing of our lives. To think of the love, sacrifice and completely willing heart it takes to offer up such an amazing gift! I wish a friend like Emily for all of you.
Not sure where to start. Here it goes........
Wish
there was something to say that could heal the hurt you and Logan are
going through. I am so sorry for everything that both of you have
endured. It has been an unimaginable road that both of you have
traveled. I hope you know how amazing and brave you and Logan are. I am
so grateful that you shared your story.
I
know that we've personally fell out of touch. But through Paula, I've
received weekly updates. The two of you have been in my thoughts and
prayers for years. I know that you and Logan deserve privacy. I've
always wanted to respect that. But I really do consider you a good
friend.
I
remember after you lost your first set of twins, and I was pregnant
with Chole, you playfully asked me if I would carry your babies if you
weren't able to. I said 'yeah, why not' and we laughed it off. That
moment has stuck with me. I hoped and prayed for your sake it wouldn't
come to that. But I was in NO WAY joking. I remember talking to my
husband that night about it. About you, and how awesome of a mom that
you'd one day be. And it's been weighing heavy on my heart ever since.
Maybe
I'm stepping over a line. Honestly, I'm terrified to send you this
email. But it's something that I haven't been able to ignore.
I
hope I haven't stirred up any extra heartache. My hope is to comfort
you. Not to upset or bombard you. It's a huge decision that you may not
even want to begin to think about yet. But when or if you do, please
remember that my offer will be anxiously waiting.
Emily was the answer to our prayers.
