Wow! I can’t fathom the emotional roller coaster you must’ve been on, but I appreciate you sharing your beautiful and inspiring story with us. How strong you - and your boys - truly are! Happy Mother’s Day to you - from another geriatric mother (who went against doctors’ recommendations and had a natural birth at 42! Go us!) ;)

Take home to all the white coats: Don’t ever underestimate the power and strength that is stoked in women when told how hard something is going to be - and is advised against!
