Child-loss Blog and Podcast
There are so many things that suck about losing a child. You have so many regrets and wishes and dreams that won’t be fulfilled.

Today we were supposed to schedule our blog to post at a later time then when we wrote them. So that is what I am doing. I sitting here at my computer at midnight trying to get all these things done. I just don’t seem to have enough time. I still have tons of homework and a full day […]
