Last night, before prayers with my little man, I told him the following story that I have told him a few times in the past. He didn't know, but I did, how important it was this week to be reminded of the story.
As I have in the past, I pointed to the moon and stars on his wall and began.
You see the moon, yes sweetie, moon (he's a big fan of moons and points them out in all his books) and the stars? Those are very special. They are magical and came from a special fairy godmother. In a land that is easy to reach, but hard to touch, there lived many beautiful princes and princesses. They were very sad though because they all wanted something so very important-a baby- and tried and tried to get one. More than anything in the world, the princes and princesses wanted to have a baby and become mommies and daddies. Some of these princes and princesses tried for many, many years to have a baby and sometimes they would get to take one home and then they wouldn't be sad any longer. But sometimes, there would be no babies and the princes and princesses would try to be happy, but still feel sad inside.
In this kingdom lived a special princess who was also a fairy godmother. She wasn't your typical princess or fairy godmother. Although beautiful, she was fiery. Sometimes, she even made people angry at her. But she was smart and funny and her heart was so filled with love and she would help those sad princesses even though in her heart she was sad too.
Your mommy and daddy picked moons and stars to decorate your room because you were our dream come true and we wanted you to always know that your Daddy would give you the moon and Mommy would give you the stars. And one day when we were waiting for you to arrive, a package came in the mail from that fairy godmother- she had sent you these magical stars and moon to put on your wall to remind you of how special you are. And we all lived (reasonably) happily every after.
But that's not the end of the story- the fairy godmother waited and waited and waited for her baby. She watched so many princes and princesses become daddies and mommies and still no baby for her. Then, one day, with help from lots of doctors, she finally was given a baby and became a mommy to a most precocious little sprite. And the entire kingdom rejoiced!
This fairy godmotherhas her first FET in less than a week and although she isn't a big believer in prayer, my little man and I prayed for the happy ending and that her little one will be in her arms safely by the end of this year.

That is absolutely beautiful! I agree that she's so deserving. I've never met anyone else like her online, someone who is willing to give so much of herself. I love this post. I will be praying, in my own way, for her happy ending, too.
You just made me cry. Seriously. And for the record, I consider myself incredibly lucky to have people out there praying for me. Oh gosh I'm bawling.
So sweet. It is hard to think of our "sisters" still in the trenches, especially those that we have formed a special bond with. I will go add my thoughts and prayers!
P.S. We also did moons and stars for Will's room. for similar reasons.
