Thank You To My Sister

1

To my sister,

 Who always wanted to be a mom
Who has struggled to have her own baby
Who has spent countless hours and dollars on tests and procedures
Who has smiled through the cringe-worthy prodding of well-meaning family members
Who has sweetly cared for others’ babies without complaint
 

Thank you. 

Thank you for loving my daughter like your own. 
Thank you for showing happiness despite your own heartache. 
Thank you for the countless gifts and surprises for me and my child. 
Thank you for not hiding away. 
Thank you for helping me see the joy in even the hard parts of parenting. 
Thank you for being there during my pregnancy and childbirth. 
Thank you for being so selfless.

Emily was born in Cincinnati but transplanted to rural Michigan as a toddler with her parents. She moved back while in high school and has been here since. She met her husband, Eric, while completing her undergrad in education at Miami University. Two master's degrees, a house, and a dog later, they decided to expand their family. Their daughter Piper was born in April 2017. Emily spent 18 months as a stay-at-home-mom before taking a GIANT leap and becoming a doula. Shortly thereafter, she was approached by the owner of a local agency about taking over the business. She now works from home running Tender Beginnings while sharing adventures with her daughter.
