Choice and loss

Just as I would always support a woman in her choice to not have a child, I support those who choose to have children.

And so for them, I am saddened beyond words when their choice does not work out.

Tonight I am mourning for a family member and his wife, who had made the decision to have children, were pregnant, and today found out they had lost their baby 3 months into the pregnancy.

This was a child that was bringing so much joy into my family, I cannot express... The first of a new generation, I myself had already bought a little "Free Newfoundland" onesie to send along with little gifts for the mother-to-be. I am grateful only that I had not yet sent them in the mail, for that extra reminder of a person who was not meant to be.

I am without any more words now as I try to distract myself and think of my family in their pain, so very far away on the other side of the country.
