Facts of Life

People have babies every day.

There are always pregnant women around every corner and newborns in 

pumpkin seats screaming in shopping carts.

I notice these people and these newborns more because of what I have been through.

People I know will continue to get pregnant and have children.  I will always be happy for them, but it will always be difficult and make me miss Norah.

Life on earth is not everlasting.  People die--old and young.

My daughter died and last week I picked out her headstone....

My son got too big for his crib, and we had to take it down and get him a big bed.   I cried with every single piece we unscrewed.

Life goes on for everyone but me right now.
