My mom’s POV during my POI diagnosis

“It hurts me to think that my baby has to deal with anything that could affect her life. I would say let me carry that burden. Not my baby. I was worried about your health. So I prayed and took you to your appointments. When we went to the genetic counseling . I always worried about what else my baby has to face?!
Going up in the elevators and seeing kids with cancer, with bald heads … I worried! My heart was HEAVY! I prayed and prayed for my baby to be healthy! And I know that you are! That’s all that matters. If you decide you want to be a parent, you know what to do. I would love any child of yours! When I knew that you were still a healthy woman. I was going to support you as much as I could.  I  wanted to know if you were going to be ok with it!  Mentally.
I feel like you are a strong woman! Who knows what she should do and wants to do. And I am so thankful you are smart – and kind!  You have such a good heart!  I still have a daughter!! And that’s exactly what I wanted! “
