Hello,
My name is Diane.
Several years ago I spoke with Jonathan at Wal-mart and I wanted to thank him for giving me the strength, hope and guidance to continue trying to get pregnant.
My husband and I recently had twins on June 1 after 12 years of marriage and many years of trying to have children.
I tried for several years to get pregnant. I was so upset and crying to one of the girls at work. I was so depressed and just about ready to give up. The girl works at Wal-mart in the photo department. She told me that Jonathan comes into the store to pick up pictures and the next time she saw him she would ask him to talk to me.
That very same day the photo lab employee looked up and there was Jonathan. She told him that I was trying so desperately to get pregnant and she asked if he could talk to me. Jonathan immediately told her to page me and have me come over.
Jonathan spoke to me for several minutes.
I spent two years with my gyn trying to get pregnant and after talking to Jonathan I told him that 2 years was long enough and I wanted him to refer me.
I went to RSI at 44. They told me I was too old for invitro but they could do Intra Uterin Insemination. I tried several cycles on fertility drugs and several times produced eggs, therefore we used IUI, but I did not get pregnant.
After more testing, I got the devastating news that I would never be able to have children using my own eggs. I was too old and the quality of my eggs would not result in pregnancy. They said my only hope was using an egg donor.
After three volunteer donors fell through at various stages of the process, I finally picked one of their egg donors. After just one cycle, I was implanted with two embryos.
Several weeks later I was told that I was pregnant.
Several weeks after that I was told that I was having twins, and later learned that one was a girl and one was a boy.
I was 47 years old and carrying twins, therefore I was considered high risk.
At 36 weeks and 3 days I delivered my twins,
Our children are 7 months old now and beautiful.
I prayed for children for many years and have found that children truly are a blessing from God.
I look at them and cry thinking that I almost never knew the joy of children.
Jonathan spoke to me at a time when I was very depressed and ready to give up trying to have children. I did not know where to go or who could help me.
Jonathan, Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me.
It may have only been a few minutes to you, but it changed my life.
I never forgot what you did for me. I did stop you one day recently at Wal-mart when I saw you in the hardware department and shook your hand and thanked you, but I wanted to also write you this note.
The employee in the photo lab said it was so strange that the same day she told me about Jonathan she looked up and there he was. I don't think it was strange. I think God was looking over me and he sent me an angel in Jonathan, to point me in the right direction and give me the strength to keep trying.
Thank you so much!!!!
Diane
