Heartbreaking

My heart goes out to all the parents that have lost their child. <3

Heartbreaking

A dear friend of mine

Told me yesterday

His wife had a miscarriage..

Tears ran down my face

What a terrible thing to happen

He was going to have a baby girl

My heart goes out to him and his family

I was watching football today

And one of the players

A couple days ago

Had his son pass away in his crib..

Every time he would kick the ball

He would kiss his hand and raise it to the sky

And his teammates would come and hug him

Such a sad moment to see

My heart goes to him and his family..

My mother had a miscarriage

Before any of my sisters, brother or I were born

They just wanted one kid at the time

None of us would have been alive..

Then my father had the surgery

After my sister was born

It didn’t work and here came me

If it did, I wouldn’t be here..

If such a thing happens

Don’t ever give up

Keep trying

Because kids can always brighten your day..

I was at that game...It broke my heart every time he paid tribute to his son...I enjoyed this piece very much. You do have a way with words dear friend... The encouragement that oozes fromthis piece made my heart lighter, even if only for a moment.

Your writing reminds me of a quote ... I have held onto this quote since the day something very terrible befell me. It helps me cope with life's struggles:

"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
