[/quote] Most women are just wired with the desire to have a child. It's natural. It's what our bodies were created to do and it HURTS when we can't. Not all women feel this way, but many do. I gave a child up for adoption. I've gotten to know the mother through her letters and I've got to say, I admire and respect her. I'm grateful she was there to be the Mommy I could not be at that time. She's an amazing and generous woman. I feel blessed to have her raising my son. I wish for all women who can't have a child of their own to find their heart's desire through adoption. I know it's not always the answer, but it's always something to consider. I pray the OP's sister is graced with a lovely healthy baby of her own. I pray she finds comfort from her pain and loss. [/quote] As a mother who's middle daughter is adopted, thank you with all my heart, for giving your precious child the gift of life !:hf: [/quote]

I watched my sister go through five years of waiting month by painful month to get pregnant as she watched all of her siblings have children. It finally happened earlier this year and I have never seen her happier or more beautiful. She took such good care of herself, she did everything right.
I got called to the hospital Monday to watch her go into labor too early and they told her she had to deliver a baby that was too young to make it. He was a boy, and he was
beautiful
. I cried every tear with her at her side for two days with her wonderful husband and still at home my tears won't stop.
WHAT is this greater purpose?! Every word I tried to say to her as she wept over her perfect son sounded empty and hollow. As a mother to five, how can anything I say even relate to her lonely heartache? My heart broke into a million pieces as we all said goodbye. I gave him my ring I always wear, I'd have buried him with my own heart if I could have.
There's NO reason. None. This post will soon be lost and abandoned among the many other threads but his life deserved a moment of recognition. Let this please compel you to look around you today and show someone close to you that you care. Love those around you with everything you've got, let my nephew's death have meaning on you for one moment to cherish what you have because it could end in an instant.
If you run across this post and you'd like, please post flowers, hearts, or just send your love out to my sister, and my sweet nephew up above.
