Day 2:  Before Loss Self Portrait

      Today, I'm supposed to share a photo of myself before my loss.  The first word that comes to my mind when I think of myself before my loss is naive, and I picture my wedding day.  I was so happy, so carefree, so excited to be marrying the love of my life.  And for the record, Michael still is the love of my life!  But I was naive.  When we got married, we had just bought our first home, and I couldn't help but think that a baby would be next. I was on birth control but naively thought that as soon as we decided to go off of it (2 looong years later!), we'd be bringing home a precious baby 9 months later.  Well, here we are over 4.5 years later, and no baby.  Well, no living babies. 

     So, here is my self portrait, during happier times.
