Title: "Hearts"

[similiesslip]

I lick my dry lips. I long for the quenching relief, to flow into my mouth and refresh my soul but even this is denied me. It's early on Valentine's Day 2006 but I'm not awake for some romantic action or loving experience. I'm heading to the hospital as soon as I get ready.

The dripping of the faucet after my shower reminds me of my mission, to stop

This is... There are no words. Seriously, I am sad for you. But this was written really well.

It is over 6 years ago now, before I was pregnant with my 4th child who did make it. But I'll never forget my little 3rd one who I never held. It seemed so ironic to be scheduled on Valentine's Day but that's when the doctor had an opening in his schedule and I needed to have it done (again.) I remember laying there and hearing the nurses talking about another nurse who just received a singing telegram in the hall and here..I didn't feel like celebrating anything.

I'll appreciate your kind words..I'm "ok now"...but like any loss...you move on but you don't ever fully forget. Thanks for commenting.

I'm so sorry you had to experience that! I miscarried once. It sucks big time. I felt so cheated.

And at the time you know other people who are still pregnant. Miscarriage seems so random, yet so sad. I'm sorry you had to go through it too:(

I knew miscarriages are rather common (there are estimates that 1 in 3 pregnancies is miscarried) but...I truly thought it would never happen to me. I wanted that little one.

It's over 6 years ago now that it happened. The baby I guess is only a memory but I won't forget him.
