My name is Julie, and my partner in life is Christian. We’re in our forties. We met by chance in university. Every week, I saw him move a little closer to my row in the auditorium, until the day he finally sat next to me. From that moment on, we never left each other’s side. We’ve been moving forward together for more than twenty years. We built our home with our own hands, and we grew as a couple and as individuals. We’re different, but we fit together, and we’re deeply connected. We’re good together. And we love each other so much.
We are the parents of almost 11-year-old boy, Raphael, and we are proud to be his parents. We try our best to guide him, to support him, and to pass on our values. In our family, we listen to each other. Watching him grow is a privilege.
Our story also carries a deep wound. We are the parents of a baby girl, Beatrice, who is now an angel. She didn’t survive her birth during the pandemic. After the delivery, my uterus was perforated. I had to undergo an emergency hysterectomy, and my right ovary was removed. I can no longer carry a child. This was incredibly hard for the three of us and the other members of our family and friends.
Still, our desire to welcome another child never disappeared. Our son wanted so much to become a big brother too. He would often ask me, “Mom, why did they take your baby machine away?” His words were simple, but they contained so much sadness.
Today, our plan to grow our family through assisted reproduction is supported by our relatives, our friends, and even our colleagues. They all tell us how beautiful this arrival of this future child is.
This child will arrive in a circle filled with love, not only from us but from our whole extended family.
Our journey has taught us that after difficult times, there is always a way to find meaning and light again.
Welcoming a special person into our lives, someone who will play a beautiful part in the story of our family is an incredible adventure and a joy that is hard to put into words. She opens a whole universe of love for a little one who has yet to be born. I’ve started writing a book to help people who feel lost after hardship. And today, I hope that the next chapter of my story can be written with you.
I call this my Rainbow Letter, because after the rain, there is always sunshine.
