After losing my wife to cancer, I thought I\u2019d lost any chance of having a family or happiness. Then I found a mysterious baby carriage on my doorstep, and what was inside led to the hardest choice of my life.<\/p>\n

She was that person everyone loved right away, you know? The type who\u2019d remember your coffee order after meeting you once and would show up at your door with soup when you were sick.<\/p>\n

but we wanted to wait until we were truly ready for the whole marriage and family thing.<\/p>\n

Good jobs, a house in the suburbs with a yard (Emily\u2019s dream), and enough savings to start thinking about kids. We got straight to the task after our short honeymoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, if we start trying in March, the baby will come in winter!\u201d she said excitedly while showing me her calendar one night as we sat on our porch swing. It was raining, her favorite weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we could do one of those cute Christmas card announcements,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

I laughed and pulled her closer. \u201cYou\u2019ve really thought this through, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone has to plan ahead in this relationship,\u201d she teased, poking my chest. \u201cRemember when you tried to surprise me with that weekend trip but forgot to pack anything?\u201d<\/p>\n

I chuckled at the time. That was Emily. Always prepared, always thinking ahead. At one point, she\u2019d turned our spare room into a home office but kept measuring it for a crib \u201cjust in case.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also had secret Pinterest boards full of nursery ideas that she thought I didn\u2019t know about. Anyway, we were ecstatic about the future.<\/p>\n

Then everything went sideways. What should have been a routine fertility appointment turned into a week of extra tests. I knew something was wrong when Dr. Grant\u2019s office called to have us come in right away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
