This was sad but very sweet as well. It seems totally in character that Ryan would try and be strong for Taylor despite his own devastation. Thank you for this.

Sad but lovely. I just don't know why these bad things have to keep happening to him.

Very sad and emotional and don't worry about a possible coincidence, these stories are very different and very brilliant. Thank you for sharing and posting.

Having watched a friend survive the loss of her first child--a son who lived about, yes, seven hours--every word of this feels ripped straight from real life: that raw and that true.

My friend now has a daughter. Fictional or not, I hope your Ryan is ready to risk himself and try again soon. And maybe you could write that story?

Chaz!

I'm glad you friend has found some peace.

I think you might be right...an follow-up story is a good idea.

Want to write it? lol

Just 1000 words.
