. i was surprised , to be honest . but he said it sounded fine to him , with some conditions ."
i shouldn't have been embarrassed to tell alan the whole story about eric's process of coming to terms with the surrgacy , but i was .eric didn't have to think about it as much he had to pray about it . the surrogate thing . eric was uncomfortable with the anatomy and biology of it all - his values are who he is - but the bigger question for him was whether we were interfering with god's plan .
i'd argued for all we knew using a surrogate was god's plan .
he didn't put us on this earth in the fifteen century . he put us here in an era of reproductive options . maybe he wanted us to choose this option .
it took eric a wek to get there . but , much to my delight , he got there .
for th year plus that i'd know eric , i've been trying very hard to understand his relationship with god . he didn't seem any more religious than anyone else when we were firs intoduced , but as i got to know him better , and with every piece of bad news either of us got - and , yes , we've had our share - the ferocity of his faith redoubled .
my fraigile faith wans under the exact same forces . i don't undestant that .
eric's faith - i amit the secular molecules in me have trouble with the word - provides him great comfort . it certainly gives him strenght . although i can't understand it , and at times i'm dubious about it and feeling alone , i envy him the solace he finds from his relationship with god .
i should say " gods " . there arre definitely distinctive gods in eric's univeerse of faith . the capital G god is a fearful . wrathful force for him . a heaven -quaking , earth -fracturing power .
