"So you're going to be a daddy?" I asked E.
"Yes." E's eyes lit up. "It's pretty amazing too, because I'm a testicular cancer survivor."
"Wow. That is pretty amazing," I said. "Like one in a million."
"Exactly," he pointed at me. "And you know what? It happened naturally. You see, I had frozen sperm before my cancer treatment. But it was very expensive for them to store it. So I decided to have a talk with God. I said, 'God, I trust you. If I'm meant to be a father, you will make me a father.' Then I tossed the frozen sperm in the toilet and flushed."
"You did what?" I asked.
He smiled wide.
"And now, my baby girl is coming."
What huge life-changer have you left up to fate?

I dunno, I kind of feel like the entirety of my life is up to fate. Sure, I make decisions about my life, but I don't ever feel that I am completely responsible for the outcomes.
ReplyDeleteI'm approaching my 14th cancer-free year in January.
ReplyDeleteFate . . .
That's a cool story Suzanne. I'm glad things worked out for E.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! Congrats, E!
ReplyDeleteDecisions left up to fate? Meeting my husband for sure. Other than that I am pretty much a control freak, half-believing I control my life but half-knowing it's all up to fate.
What a story!
ReplyDeleteI guess I haven't tampered with much around here--trying regularly to give it up to God.
Aww, that's the spirit! I guess I approach all my life that way. I don't know what's in store for me, but I trust that no matter what comes my way, it's right. I'm still single and approaching the age where I wonder if I'll have a family or not, but you can't force it. I'm happy to hear E's good news.
