I like both of your characters and you did a great job of helping me see them as loving couple.<br /><br />It reminded of this party I went with I pregnant with my first daughter. There was a woman who sat down beside me and asked, of course, to touch my belly. <br /><br />Then she told me of all her lost babies, she lost five by that time. You couldn't keep them more than 4 months, I think. <br /><br />The sadness in her eyes still haunts me and how tenderly she touched my pregnant belly. Even now, with my kids grown and living their own lives, my eyes still tear up when I remember her. Sorry, for going off of this, but your story really touched me.Sarahttp://www.sarahealy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-32035756393326392072011-05-06T10:09:16.284-04:002011-05-06T10:09:16.284-04:00This is really powerful, sad and touching.

I'm glad I didn't bet money on that lol!<br /><br />Tissues were indeed used, as I can identify with Sara. But I didn't wait too long; I had issues from the beginning. My OBGYN used to have one entrance for both the infertility patients and the happy preggo mommies. Fortunately, after they moved to a new building, they gave us different entrances and separate waiting rooms. I was very glad when, after 10 years, I had my first apt in the "happy" waiting room!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
