It's So Hard


NIAW was great last week.  Before I personally struggled, I had only heard of Infertility through Sheri.  I didn't pay attention to it anywhere else. From now on, I will always adknowledge this week.  Infertility will always be a part of me, even after I have my family.

I've posted a few times about my love for country music.  The Dixie Chicks were AMAZING!  Unfortunately, they made a few comments about the president and most of the nation stopped "liking" them.  (So much for free speech, but I digress.)  I never stopped loving their music.

Emily Robison and Martie Maguire (sisters) of The Dixie Chicks both suffered from Infertility.  They both went through IVF and FET cycles to achieve pregnancy.

"It's So Hard When It Doesn't Come Easy" by The Dixie Chicks is a beautifully written song about some of the emotions that we go through.  Even if you don't love country music like I do, you have to admit that the words are beautiful.
Back when we started
We didn't know how hard it was
Living on nothing
But what the wind would bring to us
Now we've got something
I can imagine fighting for
So why is fighting all that we're good at anymore

And sometimes I don't have the energy

To prove everybody wrong
And I try my best to be strong
But you know it's so hard
It's so hard

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy

It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard

It felt like a given

Something a woman's born to do
A natural ambition
To see a reflection of me and you

And I'd feel so guilty

If that was a gift I couldn't give
And could you be happy
If life wasn't how we pictured it

And sometimes I just want to wait it out

To prove everybody wrong
And I need your help to move on
Cause you know it's so hard
It's so hard

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy

It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
So hard

I can live for the moment

When all these clouds open up for me to see
And show me a vision
Of you and me swimming peacefully

Last night you told me

That you can't remember
How to feel free

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy

It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy

It's so hard
