As many of you know. We have been working on having a Gestational Carrier "carry" our child. What some of you may not know is that we have found one. One who I have known my entire life. One who is as close to Di and I as any one. And one who we trust with our own lives...or child's life for that matter. My wonderful sister Gail! let that sync in for a few minutes....... Crazy huh?? Any one think "icky"?? (well I did for a little while)
Gail is in Dallas as we speak. Probably hanging out at the house with Di getting ready for our 2nd (we tried a couple months ago but didn't have any luck) procedure. They are probably about to leave for the hospital any minute. I will leave work about noon. As many people know, Doctors our on their own time so my guess is, if they say be there between 11:30 and noon, that the Doc will stroll in around 12:45/1pm.. It just works that way.
I want to take this opportunity to thank my sister and her husband Mark. They are making a HUGE sacrifice out of pure kindness. Not many people would choose to do this. Words can not describe the love and respect Di and I have for them and their family. I will be forever indebted to them. To say this was an easy choice or any easy decision would sell them short. How does someone decide that they WANT to do something like this?...what motivates them? Why?? No other reason then love. Love for me...love for Di....love for themselves and our whole family..There is no other way to describe it...
If you know me, you know that I am not a religious man. I believe in many things..I believe in the human spirit. I believe in doing good by all. I believe in helping when the opportunity presents itself. I believe that there IS power in doing right. I am a spiritual person. None of these beliefs prepared me for the moment it was decided that Gail would be THE ONE. That my friends is God's work. So thank you God..Thank you for blessing me and my family. Oh. And THANK YOU GAIL. I love you.
