You heard the doctor. I'm over 35, in my condition it's going to be difficult now.

Seeing the love of my life, shoulders slumped, lips quivering, eyes glazed with tears, is breaking my heart.

Difficult doesn't mean impossible, right? We'll keep trying.

A glimmer of hope shines through her.

We'll keep trying.
