A Bit of Mystery to End Sock It To Me Week…
Thanks to Kymberli at I Am A Smart One for creating this week.
Well, I’m a day later but, hopefully, not a dollar short.
Today, I want to write about my dear friend, Sarah, from Dreams and False Alarms. Sarah and I met online during one of Mel’s International Comment Leaving Weeks and we’ve stayed friends ever since. Our friendship has grown over the months since we both did IVF last fall.
Around that time, I had been talk to Nadia about how I would love to create a line of socks for the A.R.T.-inclined. I thought that socks with wonderful displays would help women like me get through those endless, awkward moments we ttc’ers endure in stirrups. It’s one of those things I’ve dreamt about doing that I probably will never do.
One day Sarah wrote a blog post about her toes and how she sometimes hates to see them in those stirrups and I decided to make her a pair of ‘heart socks’ so that she would know how much I valued her friendship. She is incredible. She always reads my blog, no matter how neglectful I might be, providing the right combination of encouragement and thoughtful advice. I made the heart socks for her and a few days later my wonderful mismatched socks arrived.I love them!
I wear them so much Nadia has had to ask them to put them in the wash. I enjoy them, especially during those silent, solitary moments we spend waiting for the RE, and knowing that I’m not alone.Thanks, Sarah!
You two are so lucky to have made such a connection of support! I miss you!
