Someone is crying tonight...

After being blissfully pregnant for 20 weeks someone's world is falling apart today. I met her only once at a good friend's party. Neither of us pregnant yet but soon to be. She found out she was pregnant only 4 weeks after I did just as we were announcing our happy news to close family and friends. .

I heard she was thrilled and so happy to be so newly pregnant that she told her best friend the news the day she peed on that stick. Weeks later the nuchal test showed that the baby's nuchal fold was thicker than it should be and after a cvs they confirmed that the baby was just fine, a little boygrowing strong and healthy they said. Today at her 20 week appointment they found that the baby's heart is misplaced and that there might be brain damage. They sent her home asking her to start thinking about terminating the life of her growing baby boy in her belly. To terminate her dreams and hopes that she built from the very day she found out her family was going to grow by one.

Someone is crying tonight. It could be me, it could be you, it could be someone you love or know.. All we know is that the pain is too hard to handle and I lay awake thinking about these newly formed parents and the tough decision that lies ahead of them. You are not alone whoever you are. We've had our suffering and pain and hopefully somewhere in your heart you can grow strong and move forward to a life where all this will be bittersweet and you will be happy and once again start believing in LIFE.
