For sale: Baby shoes; never worn. Ernest Hemingway. Many times when I watch my son and daughter run and play, I see my third, a boy running along with them. I hear him laugh. I imagine him also hugging me when the two who live here on earth have their chubby arms round my neck. When I see families with three kids, there is an ache in my chest because I do have three children of my own; but one of them doesn't live with us. He lives with God.
In the April of 2015, I lost my second child through a miscarriage. I miss him inexplicably. If you haven't already, you can read about my story with him here: the-second-wave.html In the last two months, several of my dear friends have lost children. I have mourned six miscarriages in these past eight weeks.
