I have never had cancer so I don't know what this is like (and I will pray for you for a speedy and complete recovery). I do know what it is like to be infertile. While it was a painful journey I can honestly say I my infertility is one of my greatest blessings! It took me a long time before I could see that...feel free to read some of my feelings and journey on my blog. I hope it helps.<br />http://a-spot4beba.blogspot.com/SmallAdventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993267241606514697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-36484958863282416582011-04-10T17:56:02.243-07:002011-04-10T17:56:02.243-07:00Tara, Just today one of our stake presidency told...Tara, Just today one of our stake presidency told of a lady in our stake having horrible cancer and going through incredible rough treatments. This was many years ago. She asked her home teacher to give her a blessing and he was inspired to tell her she would have and raise a child. Needless to say, it made him wonder. <br /><br />Well, that dear sister did have a child and has raised him and is now suffering with cancer again. The Lord blessed her with the desires of her heart and kept her here to raise him. You are right...HE IS IN CONTROL. His will is always done and it is up to us to live so that we can accept it. We can work each day to bring ourselves into a place where we are at peace with whatever he chooses for us.<br /><br />Keep up the faith. The Lord loves you so much and you are such an inspiration to all of us. I know I have never met you (just your parents) but I love you and I am still praying for you.There and back again...and again...https://www.blogger.com/profile/17056069753021141068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-73773625209613588442011-04-10T13:55:43.036-07:002011-04-10T13:55:43.036-07:00Tara, you are so inspriational.

You are just amazing! I was reading through the ensign this morning, and I found this <br /><br />(http://lds.org/ensign/2011/04/faith-and-infertility?lang=eng)<br /><br />article and thought of this post and you. You've probably already seen it, but regardless, it made me think of how perfectly aware Heavenly Father is of each of us and the struggles we each face! You handle your challenges with such faith and grace and I appreciate your example! You always make me want to be better!

Wedding photos and kid photos are painful to see. Sometimes, it is more than I think I could ever take, yet somehow, God always protects me and helps me back to a good place - and is ready and waiting when I need help again. Those moments are painful, humbling and necessary, all at the same time. <br /><br />I am blessed with a great family and great friends, and good health. I have so much in my life, yet I want more - and often struggle with the guilt of not appreciating what have. <br /><br />Your faith is inspiring because your are open about your struggles in light of your faith in God and his plan for you. Your testimony through your struggles speaks to me daily. <br /><br />Thinking good thoughts of health, healing and future children. :)OSU 98https://www.blogger.com/profile/04770022596782695331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-86448644701092334882011-04-08T11:07:36.107-07:002011-04-08T11:07:36.107-07:00I'm so sorry.

I have loved reading your blog and have been amazed at the way you handle the trials that have come your way!<br /><br />I do not understand the pain of the cancer you are going through, but I do understand the pain of knowing you may never be able to have your own children. My husband and I have been struggling with inferitily for years. Like you, my whole life I've wanted to be a mom, experience pregnancy and bringing life into the world. Knowing that might not happen has literally broken my heart! I'm no expert on how to deal with that... I find myself sad about it often, but when I feel that way I pray for help in accepting his will- that's all I CAN do! :)<br /><br />In the mean time, my husband and I recently started the process of applying for adoption. Although I still want to one day have children biologically, the possibility of starting my family through adoption has brought me a lot of hope. :)<br /><br />Sorry- this a a novel. You'll be in my prayers!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077526300148049598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-44933387686933013132011-04-08T08:57:21.167-07:002011-04-08T08:57:21.167-07:00hi, you dont know me, although I have posted one o...hi, you dont know me, although I have posted one other time. I am just like you, I grew up knowing that all i wanted to be was a mom. I couldnt wait! Then after being married for 5 years and doing thousands of dollars of infertility treatments and never finding anything wrong I was heart broken. It changed me, big time. I didnt want to see people pregnant, i hated going out of town because I swear EVERYTIME i came home SOMEONE else was pregnant.<br />Everyone said to adopt, but I wasnt ready! Then, one night (literally in the middle of the night) I was woken up and KNEW we had to adopt. we got certified, and 3 weeks later I was a mom! Then 17 mo later we got a call at 1:00, and I was a mom again at 5:00.<br />I couldnt love my kids ANY more if I physically carried them and gave birth to them. they are mine, and always will be. Also, there is NOTHNG better than being able to take YOUR baby to the temple. If you physically had your babies, you wouldnt get to do that! and trust me, its so great!!!<br />Its a hard pill to swallow, cause really, its not what we all planned. But I can promise you its just as great, if not better, than carrying your child. I think I love my kids more because i worked SO dang hard for them!<br /><br />good luck...you are always in my prayers. And when/if you ever decide to adopt I would love to help you along the way (I work for an agency)<br /><br />email me! meredith91@yahoo.com<br /><br />MeredithShane Meredith Mason and Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949319506478041359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-55163169770889153902011-04-08T05:57:40.812-07:002011-04-08T05:57:40.812-07:00Thank you for sharing, Tara, you are my inspiratio...Thank you for sharing, Tara, you are my inspiration!!!!

I read your post and cried because really, ...Tara,<br /><br />I read your post and cried because really, that is all a Mother wants for her daughters is for them to be Mothers and to love that divine calling. I dealt with infertility for years. The Dr's could not figure out why and after many prayers and lots of faith, I have 4 beautiful daughters. Being a member of the church, the one thing that carried me thru all of my rough times of infertility was doing initiatories in the Temple of the Lord. There are so many special blessings that are promised, only specifically at that time. Every time I got discouraged, that is where I went. It is also nice because you can tell the ladies you have 1/2 hour and they will do what they can. One thing that I have learned is the Savior knows the desires of your heart. That is the most precious blessing that we have been given. You are a daughter of God and a royal heir to many kingdoms that we cannot understand. You are doing things more difficult than anyone of us can comprehend. Thank you for sharing your deepest feelings! You are loved by many. I know trials are hard,after the storm, there is always a beautiful rainbow.Jed & Mary Neilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092141280116321191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-86279252524431802442011-04-07T22:26:22.377-07:002011-04-07T22:26:22.377-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jed & Mary Neilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092141280116321191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039622818616024615.post-54674116549822747702011-04-07T22:25:33.539-07:002011-04-07T22:25:33.539-07:00You tell them doctors, Tara!
