I love it! Haven't had the chance to read the hole thing, but I looked through it. I think my favorite parts were seeing your goals (made me want to work harder myself) and the folded tissues (made me laugh). I'd love to share this with other birth moms if you are okay with that.

Stephanie, I read very word. I'm inspired, as always by your faith and by your courage.
I love you.
And by the way, our friendship has been a tender mercy for me.
