R.A.-

Read your comment on my date night with Big Daddy (I know, pathetic, checking email on my stupid phone. In my defense, he was watching the LSU-Bama game over my shoulder)... and wanted to respond right then and there...

Not morbid AT ALL. I have seen the bittersweet reality of the birth and lost of a child in my work life, and what I have always felt is this: Once a mother, always a mother.

Got the book, read your article, loved it, passed it on to my local (small town) library.

Not to sound morbid (I feel that I have to say that because NO ONE wants to hear about dead babies) but, sometimes you parent your child for 1 hour, 2 weeks, 3 years or just not forever like you expected. Knowing that doesn't change anything, it just makes you different (within yourself).

(Not that I would have listened but) I wish that someone had told me that.
