When she was maybe about 16 months old she looked me in the eye and said "Mommy can I please have a big brother?" It was the first of many times my heart stopped as my eyes filled with tears. There were many times she asked me this over the years and what could I say? I used to just look at her and say "well maybe one day honey." When she found out just after she turned 11 that she did indeed have a big brother I remember her looking at me and saying to me "Now I know why you always used to say maybe one day, when I would ask you for a big brother".<br /><br /> It never gets any easier when you are startled by innocence, and the responses don't get easier either. I hope for us both that one day they will Sweet Pea.<br /><br />Luv and Hugs,<br />DeniseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
