Sad

I just don't understand why bad things happen to good people. I know that it is cliche. Doesn't mean it isn't true.

One of my very close friends of 15+ years just lost her baby 7 weeks to her due date. Granted, this is her 4th child, but it is so devestating. It's just awful. They found out last Friday at a routine check that there was no longer a heartbeat and ultrasound confirmed the loss only a few minutes later. One of the saddest things is that she had to go through labor and delivery just as if she was going to have a healthy baby, only knowing that it wasn't so.

Dawson was born at 3:44 pm Tuesday, September 4, 2007. He weighed 1 pound 14 ounces and was 16 inches long. He was pronounced dead one minute later. Funeral services are pending.

I went to Norfolk to see Kathy tonight. It was by far one of the hardest things I have ever witnessed in my life. I can honestly say that there are few times I have ever cried like that in my life. I don't know how she can live through this. She will, I know that..... but HOW is another story completely.

I must try and get some sleep. Just needed to vent.
