The simple fact of living is already reason enough to feel lucky.

Hello, a new week, with a new selection of interesting questions, for my part I want to write a little about how lucky I feel about my life at the moment, with all its ups and downs, the question is simple, did I ever feel lucky, as I said in the first sentence, the simple fact of getting up every day makes me feel that my life is valuable and I am lucky to have it.

But I want to tell you about this event that made me feel so many emotions together, but to get there I must tell you that for my part I always dreamed of being a father, I always wanted to have a girl, since I was a teenager I felt this way and as the years passed over me, this desire became bigger, I had a long relationship, luckily she shared my thoughts, she also wanted to have a girl and we always made plans on this issue, but there came a point where her health was compromised by some cysts that came out in her ovaries.

This fact made us very sad, because according to the doctors it would be very difficult, not to say impossible, when we found out about this fact who is my wife now and mother of my daughter, decided that she should stop taking contraceptives, as they were bad for her and apparently she did not need them, certainly the news hit us very hard, the dream of being a mother for her was moving away and I always gave her strength, I always told her the same words, God will give us that girl or boy that we dreamed so much, years passed since she stopped taking contraceptives and time just bet on giving the reason to the doctors, no matter how hard we looked we did not get it.

When we decided that we would form a home, even knowing that maybe it would only be the two of us forever, we started to organize everything, we looked for a house, we bought appliances, and we had everything ready, a month before moving, her menstruation was late, something that was very normal for her, many times months went by without arriving, I remember that I always told her, we are pregnant and we are going to be parents, She always said that it was not possible, but something inside me said that it would be, I remember that month, we ate pizza until we were tired, every day, maybe they were cravings that we shared and we did not realize, she goes a few days to visit her aunt and when she returns, I remember that I went to pick her up at work, and she asked me to buy some empanadas that she said were delicious, the best she had ever tasted.

I parked, bought for both of us, and on the way she devoured each one, when I decided to eat one, the taste from my perception were the worst I had ever tasted in life, I think that would confirm my suspicions, the next day I took her to get tested before taking her to work, I remember that on the way I told her about the empanadas that had a horrible taste, and I told her that when we saw the result we were going to be surprised, her words were, on the way back we went through the results together.

But the bioanalyst was a co-worker since we both worked at the clinic, he in the laboratory area and I in the systems area, so just at noon when I decide to go to look for her at the radio station she passed me a text message, with only one word "Congratulations", I think my joy could not contain it, I wanted to scream it, I wanted to laugh or cry, I don't know, but it was something inexplicable, before arriving at her work I had to calm down, try to pretend I didn't know anything, and I gave my best performance, on the way back we went through the result, and when that woman saw the exam she was speechless, I think she was slow to react after a few minutes, she got excited, and I have no doubt that she felt the same as I did.

Now we are parents, we can say that it was a stroke of luck, as the doctor currently says, the chances were almost zero, but luck decided to smile on us, we currently have a happy home, with problems like everyone, with disagreements but together, raising a beautiful girl, still learning every day of each other and with the desire to know what the future holds for us together.

Los Tejos

Without further ado I say goodbye friends, until next time.

This is such a sweet story Douglas. The taste of the empanadas made me laugh. I'm so happy for you both getting your wish. It's funny how the universe works like that, when you least expect it, things change for the better. Your daughter is cute and I can see from the photos how truly happy you and your wife are to have her.

What is she eating in that last photo, her expression is priceless 😁

That is a fantastic story. I believe every day that I wake up I am lucky, yes lucky to be alive.
I also believe that the Universe does deliver, sometimes when we least expect things, we get what we wanted all along.
You have a wonderful family and enjoy your weekend with them!
