I'm at a loss as to what to say about this book, this story, everything. I keep thinking about when I, and others, say "I can imagine" and "I can't imagine". We don't really mean that most of the time do we?
I literally can't imagine having to deal with what the Savages have dealt with and are still dealing and will always be dealing with.
I'm not one of the most likely many people who think it's over because Logan is gone. I understand - it'll never be over.
Maybe it takes someone who has dealt with infertility and who lives his or her life totally around their child(ren). I don't know.
I consider myself a pretty good judge of character and the Savages seemed nothing if not truthful. Whether they made them look good or not-so-good, I do believe they were truthful throughout the book.
I think in the end, in some ways, they're very lucky people. They have an extremely - and I do definitely mean extremely - wide circle of support for one thing. They're family and friends rallied around them in the truest sense.
I'm Catholic, I was raised in the faith and am raising my daughter Catholic. It saddens me, has for some time, a number of their "views". I agree with the Savages one hundred percent on their views of IVF. Maybe this will lead to some changes. Maybe, maybe not. ;)
Speaking of maybe, maybe not. The Savages should be thanked for including that story so... thank you if you ever happen to read this. That story, as simple as it is, needs to be shared. It really puts things in perspective and it can be a great help to many people I think.
I hope that if another baby is something they still want, I hope that wish comes true. From what I read they deserve it.
Logan will know. No matter what happens with the Morrell's. Even if you never see Logan again until he's an adult, he will know. This knowledge is out in this world know and he will know. You've made your feelings known. Maybe that can help to ease the suffering just a tiny bit.
I am going to read [book:Misconception: One Couple's Journey from Embryo Mix-up to Miracle Baby|7922847]. I'm not sure how I'll feel about it, their side of the story, or them in particular. I'm able to relate with Carolyn and Sean much, much more I think. But I'll go in with an open mind, like always, and see what I think.
I hope the feel better knowing they've almost definitely helped another family or families to avoid this very same situation. Another family may not have been so strong. Another family may have been torn apart instead of becoming stronger than ever. (That's not to say the Savages deserved this because they're strong. I trust people will be able to know what I mean by that.)
I also agree that the entire clinic, every single person from the highest to the lowest there, that was involved in the Savages process are to blame. They caused a great, great deal of hurt and pain for a great many people. And all because of laziness. We trust our medical community far too much. They're human too but that doesn't mean we can't demand checks and rechecks. Hopefully this will lead to people being more careful in all medical areas. I know I will be.
I wish the Savages and their family much luck. They certainly deserve it.
