Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt hollow and empty and aching.

I didn’t simply want children – I probably could have found someone who would have been willing to do the baby thing – I wanted them with her. I longed to see the sparkle of her eyes in the eyes of a child; to have that infectious laugh of hers coming out of a baby’s mouth as I tickled them; I wanted to hold a child in my arms and look at it and see her and me, our genes combined to make another human being. When it came to me that that would never happen, I put my fist through the back door. All these little things kept coming to me, all the “I’ll nevers”, but that was the worst one. I grieved for the children we’d never have almost as much as I’d grieved for her.
