Expressing my concerns
I expressed my concerns about being childless and inexperienced, imagining the huge responsibility Jenna had placed on me. “I haven’t raised a child,” I admitted, my voice unsteady. “What if I’m not enough?” Jenna grabbed me across the table. “You have a big heart,” she said with conviction in her voice. ” That’s what Emily needs most. You can learn the rest.”

A deep chord was struck
Jenna’s request and her statement that Emily knew about me touched me deeply and made the request even more urgent and emotional. “Please, meet with her,” Jenna begged, her eyes pleading with me to understand her. There was a desperation in her voice that was palpable. I realized that this decision would change all of our lives forever, which is why I felt a knot in my stomach. “Okay,” I finally said in a soft voice. “I’ll go out with her.”
