An Open Letter to our Last Embryo

*As published by The Muse on 8th March 2017

Dear Speck of Dust (for that was the size of you when we met five years ago),

You might never know how we used to talk about you, and even wave to you on occasion as we drove past the turnoff for the fertility clinic where you lived.

‘Hello, little one’ we would call out, and just for a moment my heart would lurch in recognition of the life that could one Read more of this blog post »
