My story started like any other autumn evening, but ended with a motorcycle crash. I watched helplessly as my husband’s face was ground into the asphalt as he shielded me and pushed me away from danger. I’ll never be able to convey the pain of my best friend being torn away from me. Here is the thing about tragedy – we couldn’t prepare for the sudden impact. My husband survived, but the doctors confirmed he would likely never walk unassisted for the rest of his life.
We returned home, and as I was picking up his medication from the pharmacy, I decided to grab a pregnancy test. Two faint lines appeared, and I frantically tore open a 2nd test to make sure. I remember my hands were shaking when I called Pregnancy Resources. The woman on the phone was very understanding and set us up to be seen that day. Sometimes, the whole world seems upside down, and then somehow God sets in motion a new plan. My most vivid memory is when the nurse slid the wand over my belly, stating, “That’s the heartbeat.” My husband’s face changed from stress to what I can describe as pure love. He said, “That’s our baby.” It was undeniable that God had his hand on us that day. Pregnancy Resources is a light in the darkness for women like me, who find themselves amid uncertainty and need support and love. God took our devastation and led us to Pregnancy Resources, who carved a path for us to move forward.
