As statistics make it some at least one of them will likely have troubles. It just shouldn't be so hard, and you shouldn't have to imagine what your daughter would have been like - you should know.

Just reading about your saying goodbye to your daughter gave me chills...<br /><br />Sometimes I feel "dazed" at how optimistic some people are about planning to have kids. A young girl I know who's just have a baby in the beginning of the year says that she wants to have 3 kids before she reaches 30 y.o. (she's 25). I was like...WOW...<br /><br />Innocence lost as we grow older, I suspect? The more broken dreams we have, the more careful we are?

With years I learnt to predict those moments, so I just take my mobile (pretending to go outside for a personal phone call) and just slip away. The coworkers are so much into the photos that nobody realizes that I am gone. One of my strategies to look after my broken soul. <br /><br />Ella Fitzgerald's music is beautiful. I love her.Klarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028863974858724867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-14689459851525316112013-06-22T08:49:56.404-04:002013-06-22T08:49:56.404-04:00Sending much love.

Sometimes the harder it is to see where the road goes, the more poignant the wish to know.
