A Story of Trial and Triumph (2)   Do you know how it feels when you lose a baby? You have this bad insatiable urge to want to get pregnant as soon as possible, like the next day. So we started to try again. We couldn’t even bear to wait till my stitches were sealed before we started to try.

We have done these simple tasks for such a long time that we can carry on doing them without giving much ado.  It’s now become a part of our lives. And that is fine. With each passing day and as you master the chores of your life, there is a tendency to lose the thrill, to dissolve the anticipation of what another day brings and just carry on living.
