We started seeing the RE, he did a repeat test on Darnell and stated that our only option was IVF. We were confused on where to go from there, and knew we needed to start saving money. I did tell my family what was going on, as we were very close. My mom knew we was trying to have children and she always questioned why wasn't we married yet.
Just a little back ground on my mom, my best friend. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006, hardest thing ever. We went through chemo and radiation, tons of appointments. She went into remission, but unfort she was still overweight and unhealthy. She had heart problems from the beginning but once we found the cancer, we put her heart on the back burner. On August 31, 2009 I went to my mom's house just as I did everyday to make sure her and my grandma ate lunch before I went into work. That day I had tried calling her twice and she didn't answer, so I was thinking she was sleeping. Well when I got to her house, I went in and said hey to my grandma and kissed her then went running upstairs to see my mom. As I got to the top of the steps, I saw my mom laying on the bathroom floor, it looked like she was trying to go potty and fell over. She was blue to the face, I screamed for her try to move her and couldn't. I pulled up her panties and ran downstairs, frantically. My grandma was yelling what's wrong what's wrong. I grabbed the phone called 911, was so upset they hardly could understand me. I went back upstairs tried to do as the operator said and couldn't find a pulse. Couldn't move her. I ran to my neighbors house, thank God she was there, she got on the phone with the operator. My neighbor told me she was gone. I called my stepdad, told him she's gone he didn't know what I was talking about I just kept repeating it. He rushed home. The ambulance, fire trucks, cops all came, I couldn't stop crying. I told them to do whatever they could to save her. It was too late, my mom passed away at the age of 55, I lost my best friend.
The next few months was a blur. But I knew my mom wanted us married before having kids, we had planned on doing IVF in December. So on November 6, 2009 we got married. I was so nervous, my brother started crying thinking about mom not being there. I choked up and swallowed my gum. It was hard, but a good day.
