While we headed toward JFK Airport, David and his family were gathering at a luxury fertility clinic. To them, this was a celebration. Allison sat comfortably, dressed elegantly, soaking in the attention.
Linda, my former mother-in-law, held her hand warmly. “Take care of yourself. My grandson needs you strong.”
