I have the best sister

My sister and I are 18 months apart in age and are very very close.  She was born to be a Mom.  She has three girls (5, 4 and 9 months). I don't think she could ever make the decision that we made to stop trying. And, she's sad for me about our situation.

She called me out of the blue today at work.  I could tell by her voice that she wanted to talk about something.  So, she asked me if I was still feeling okay about our decision.  I told her I was okay 99% of the time. Then she told me that if I ever wanted, she would carry a baby for me. (Of course, not being able to carry isn't our issue, but it's her way of telling me she would do anything to make me happy). Here we were on the phone, both crying (me in my cubicle at work!).
