You're absolutely right -- some things are impossible to be prepared for. As my best friend's son was losing his fight with a brain tumor, people said he and his wife should be prepared to lose him. But it was impossible to even conceive of that, up to the moment it happened.
This isn't heaven.

I thought about my brother who died at 16 years. I've worried over my 6 year old son, Rory. I've worried for the well being of my brother and his wife. I've thought a lot the last few days about my ex-wifes miscarriage. My working partner of late is a man who is an officer in an organisation for parents of murdered children, and I know it will be hard to tell him about this. There is no way to be emotionally ready for the bad things life can bring you. rob > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Robert Seeberger > Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 5:59 PM > To: Brin-L > Subject: Taylor Elizibeth Seeberger > > > Taylor Elizibeth Seeberger died this evening. > She was born last friday evening, 4 months premature. > She was kept in NICU and I never saw her. > I grieve for my brother and his wife who were never able to hold their child > in their arms. > I grieve over the fact of losing a second niece, since last may we lost > Brittanny Elkington Seeberger. > I grieve for the loss of potential. > > rob > just rob >
