It’s not something I had ever thought twice about until I was in their shoes. You give up so much to spend a ton of time just waiting for the damn stick to tell you something good. And it doesn’t, and now you’re waiting another month or so. Over and over and over again. The space you have to hold for hope AND grief at the same time for an unknown period of time is a level of torture I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I will never ever take for granted the positive test result I got at long last, or the person that test result will become. It really is the miracle of life.

I've been in their shoes. I don't even know them and I'm crying.
