We are constantly reminded that our family is still incomplete.
Reminded by little moments from an empty backseat on a quick trip to the store, an unused nursery, a warm weekend walk past a playground or just the odd silence. Even with two adults and two dogs we have noticed that the house is quieter than it should be.
These to us are facts.
This weekend we had to face the fact that our lives must continue.
I've had to return to Las Vegas for work while my better half had to spend it alone in the house.
Flying into the city I looked out the window scanning below for any sign. As silly as it might sound I was searching for the birth mother and baby. When driving from the airport to the event it was hard not to notice the hospital, hotel and house where he was born, stayed with us and may be living today. The fact that I couldn't pick them out of a crowd hasn't kept me from trying. Even while navigating thousands of tourists on the Strip I was looking.
If it wasn't for the fact that I am married to the most amazing person; facing this trip would be unbearable.
Another fact is the love and support we've received from family, friends and coworkers.
So while the fact that we are again putting ourselves out there for another match; we know it is not about if we will be parents - it is a matter of when. And that is a fact!
