Pink - such a beautiful, heartfelt essay. Thank you for sharing, Liane! ~ellen

Pink - As a mother of 2 sons, I get it. Maybe a granddaughter. Lovely writing as usual, Liane. ~Felicia

Pink - I know how it feels. I too wanted a girl. Larry didn't agree he wanted a boy. In hindsight what really matters is not the gender but having a healthy child. Would it be nice to have a girl. Yes! Would I trade my Son or the time I had with him for a girl. No. ~Karen

Pink - good clean female fun! ~label ben fivish

Pink - I loved this piece! Although I am a mother of two girls and a boy, I could still relate and enjoyed the read. Thank you Liane! ~Mary

Pink - Thanks for another great piece Liane. It was as enjoyable as decadent chocolate. I will pass it on to my sister - mom of 3 boys - who I know has felt the same. And now that my daughters are grown & I have a new little boy, I still find myself lingering over the very cute pink-in-white clothes from the Hanna Anderson catalog! And will we ever get to the Galapagos??? I'm now living out those dreams vicariously through my world-exploring children. Sometimes God has other plans for us. ~stacy
