To my one and only true love..Greg

Dear Greg,
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you being by my side all of these years. We started our journey in 1995 when we first met. We were married April 21, 1997 and every marriage is filled with ups and downs. We took the safe route at first by making sure we didn't get pregnant accidentally. Now, I wonder if we should have just let things happen naturally. After we got off birth control in 2005, we tried just about everything our finances would allow us to. We took everyone's advice about trying, not trying, positions, and even foods to eat with no prevail.

When your sister found out she was pregnant, your parents were so happy. We were happy for her, but truthfully we were both empty inside. So we went back to trying again. We talked about adoption and fostering. So then it happened, we got pregnant. I took that test January 20, 2011. We figured that we conceived around Christmas of 2010. We were so happy that we told EVERYONE! I had a obgyn appointment on February 7, 2011.

I did everything right while we were pregnant. On the morning of January 24, 2011, I woke up bleeding heavily. You were at work. I had passed our baby in the toilet. You came home appointed took me right to the ER. After I sat in the waiting room bleeding, I was finally seen. We watched as the doctor checked me and found the baby was gone. However, there were 7 fibroids in my uterus. I was told to follow up with obgyn.

Let's not forget the pain and vomiting that happens when I have my period. The fact that no medication even works for me.

Fast forward to this past year. We tried birth control once again to regulate my periods. That didn't help at all. Sex became very painful and yet you have stayed by my side through everything. Now on Tuesday (22nd) I will be having the biggest surgery of my life thus far. You are there for me, not because you have to..but because you want to. I know you are scared, I can see it in your eyes. I know you say you don't want me to be in pain anymore. I don't want to be either. I can't wait to feel better, to be the wife you married. To please you the way you should be pleased during love making.

I appreciate you so much!
love always and forever,
Brandi
