Rooting

I have an family member and their spouse who are dealing with infertility. Mother's Day and Father's Day are particularly hard for them, not having kids while many of their friends and family members have kids. Lately they've been saving up for and using fertility medications.

Well, I'm rooting for them. I hope very much that they're able to have children, or even just one child if that's all they can manage.

And if it turns out they can't, I don't think any less of either of them. I don't think it's some punishment or cosmic joke, I don't think it's some deficiency or fault of either of them. Their fertility issues just are what they are. They're both good people. They've stuck together through thick and thin, and children or no children they're great for each other.
