Heartbreak

My cousin lost his first and only child yesterday morning. For three weeks, the dr. thought it "odd" that the baby was turning so much and kept putting off a C section. They broke J's water on thursday evening, told her to come back in the morning as labour should be started.

It was to late yesterday morning. He was gone. So they sent her home, with her child still in her tummy, had her back this morning and had her deliver naturally.

How fucking wrong...how wrong is this...and THIS is what makes me wonder what God is doing. What he's about. If he loves his children so much, how could he let something like this happen. No one has ever been able to answer this. No one will. And my heart aches for this family. For this baby who was fighting to breathe and wasn't given the chance.

Yes, I am holding my child a million times tighter tonight. She is in bed and I miss her already.
