We grew up together in a small town in Queens, NY where everyone knew each other.  We were friends throughout our childhood and adolescent years, and as fate would have it, we fell in love several years later.  We were raised with the same family values and tried to start a family of our own right away.  Unfortunately, after many losses we were told we may never be able to have children of our own.  Against all odds, we were blessed with a miracle baby and our family dream finally came true.  We have a beautiful daughter named Ava who is now 5 years old.  We have always wanted to grow our family and share the love, and now Ava is asking for that too.  Every day she asks if she can please be a big sister.  All we can say is we are trying.  We hope and pray that one day we can fulfill her dreams of being a big sister, but if we can’t,  we will continue to cherish every moment we have together.
