Today is the 5 year anniversary of when I first knew I wanted to have a family with Ben. It was the day of my high school graduation, the day he was checked into the hospital to have his first surgery - a liver biopsy, the day my naive invincible teenage attitude ended. I remember feeling that need to have some permanent tangible piece of him, in case he didn't make it. Many people may have thought we were young to get married, young to become parents, young for all we will face together, but I have never doubted what I've known in my heart for the last 5 years. The odds were not in our favor, yet here we are. Now I have him and his baby is growing safely within my belly. This is what I am meant to do. We are so blessed.(This is a picture of Ben and I during the summer after my graduation, the summer of chemo)
