a reminder
the other day i received an email from my childhood friend G. she's living in dubai. we're practically of the same age and when we were babies, we're buddies! her father was the one who carried my nanay to the hospital when she's about to give birth =D. he's also one of our ninongs when we got married.
G and i don't see each other often but we try to keep in touch -- thanks to internet. last year both of us got pregnant twice but unfortunately we both lost our babies. our 1st ones did miscarriage. while my 2nd pregnancy was ectopic, hers reached upto 7 months. sad news was, the baby didn't make it and worse, my friend's kidneys deteriorated. at age 30 she's undergoing dialysis, both her kidneys are no longer working.
then in that email that she sent me the other day, i received God's reminder to me. lately i have been entertaining the idea of getting science's assistance for me to get pregnant, if by the end of this year i'm still not pregnant. i felt so anxious and always had that impatient attitude... but that email gave me a change of heart.
she told me that she's doing fine and that she's optimistic of having babies in the near future. she's just waiting to have her transplant and two years after the transplant, her doctor would lessen her medicine dosage to make her ready for pregnancy. she just can't undergo the transplant yet because their savings are still not enough --- i learned from her that the whole operation would cost about two million pesos.
oh my very very strong friend! God bless your strong heart. she's really something, isn't she?
here i am strong and healthy, questioning God about me not being able to get pregnant again... impatiently questioning a lot of things. while my friend is battling her situation with twice a week dialysis and preparation for transplant, she's still optimistic and patient. i felt so stupid.
G, God told you to email these things to me so i can realize how lucky and blessed i am. and i know in HIS own time, both of us will have our own kids too and you'll have that successful transplant =)
you're always in my prayer kapatid =)
