It's sad that it was met with such an aghast response. I hope that after you left, she thought through the exchange and realized the beauty of what you were doing, AND the privilege that was extended to her to be part of making it special.ditaraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785901405140226025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-61813594243195770042008-07-14T15:10:00.000-04:002008-07-14T15:10:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday Isaac!I am sorry to read about this...Happy Birthday Isaac!<BR/><BR/>I am sorry to read about this experience, but hoping I can shed a little "light" on it...<BR/><BR/>I have come to realize that some people, myself included sometimes, live in a "bubble". They have no idea that babies die here in this country (for reasons that have nothing to do with "taking care of yourself"). Those thoughts just don't cross the mind of the "average person". I am a nurse, but had never heard about "Trisomy 18" until a year ago. I bet there are lots of people who don't know that there are babies who need organ transplants for a chance to live. I didn't until that became my "life"...<BR/><BR/>This is no excuse for anyone to be rude...there is never an excuse to be rude. However, I'm "guessing" that even if the woman was not kind to you, your words did make her think. Even if it hit her hours later, how could she NOT stop and think "Yeah, I suppose if MY baby died, I would not want to forget him, or let anyone else forget him..." (and, probably wishing she could turn back time and say something else)<BR/><BR/>It sounds to me like you took an uncomfortable and hurtful conversation and turned it into an opportunity to open the eyes of someone who just "didn't know". I don't think she will forget Isaac, or your family.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>AmandaJust Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107897626295034178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-81159264783600939812008-07-14T15:08:00.000-04:002008-07-14T15:08:00.000-04:00Praying for you today.

I know i haven't told you yet, but Thank you, thank you for sharing Isaac's story with the rest of us. I know I've heard it before, but it still has the same emotion and affect on me. I feel like I am there, traveling the road with you even though our roads did not join until months after he passed. <BR/>Thank you for sharing Isaac's birthday with us, it means more than we can tell you to be a part of it. <BR/>-GingerThe Pittsburgh Hiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04281823400318830027noreply@blogger.com
