Two of my closest friends lost their son during birth 3 years ago. Terrible thing. I can't imagine there is anything worse you could experience in life. Nothing can replace a lost child, however, my friends now can face anything. They have no fear and never worry about money, work, whatever. They have faced and survived the ultimate loss. Plus, they are expecting in September and everything looks great! Sometimes things work how they need to I guess. Much luck to Tony and all he inspires. Add me to the list.
I, oddly, am only alive today because my parents lost a child. They planned on having three children, and though there are three of us today, you could say, I suppose, that I am the fourth.
I can't begin to understand what your brother and his wife are going through. I supppse all I can offer is the promise of what is yet to come. Nothing in life is truly predestined or "supposed"; all that matters is what we do with what we have in our time.
So when my parents didn't give up on another child (although they did take a year or two off) I can imagine it was a frightening undertaking. Although we all tried to come out feet first, and I have managed to check into the ER pretty regularly (blame the x-games), so maybe it is just parenting that is frightening.
We had a miscarriage much sooner during my wife's first pregnancy, and the pain never goes away, even though I have a wonderful three year old to hold. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes from your brother's story. On the one hand, there are lots of people who will understand his and his wife's pain, on the other hand, it will never go away. My condolences to you on your loss as uncle-to-be.

And maybe in that way, fear can actually be love.

ReplyDeleteI was supposed to be taking a little brother/sister to elementary school these days but it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteI became supposed to be going for a tiny brother/sister to fundamental institution nowadays but it did not take place.
