It's not fair. I don't know what else to say except that life is so fucking unfair sometimes. An amazingly strong woman on a message board that I frequent has lost her second child. Last year her sweet baby girl was born 3 months prematurely and became an angel. When she found out she was pregnant again, I cried tears of joy for her. This had to stick because life couldn't be so cruel. Last week she was admitted to the hospital at 22 weeks because her cervix had all but disappeared. But it was closed, and her bag was intact, so we put on our gamefaces and prayed for her little boy to stay in longer. Unfortunately, yesterday she went into labor, and despite doctors' best efforts to stop it, her baby boy was born and lived for just a few hours.
My heart is absolutely breaking for her. Even though we have never met, I feel like I know her, and I would take away her pain if I knew how. It's not fair. None of this is fair.
Please hug your children extra tight and never take 1 second with them for granted.
