Some of the things Ella learned were eye opening. Like the number of miscarriages Heather had had before giving up and looking toward adoption. It took nineteen miscarriages before they had discovered abnormalities with Heather’s uterus, along with precancerous cysts in her ovaries, which led to an early hysterectomy in her 40’s. There lied a large portion of Danielle and Heather’s conflict. When Charlie had first mentioned the change, Ella had thought he had been referring to her. Ella now understood she was not the driving wedge between them. Menopause was. It was nice to know Heather’s wild mood swings had not been brought on by the stress of Ella’s arrival.
