Stories of Lost Children
The Happy Life Gone
by Jennifer Hillard, Danville, IL, U.S.A.
I don't even know where to begin. My brother divorced 2 years ago, after less than 1 year of marriage. We weren't sure how he would cope. Luckily, in August of 2007, he met a wonderful girl, and they fell in love. They were expecting their first child, Aiden Michael on 6/07/08. Tragedy struck on 3/26 when the Military showed up at his work to inform him that his fiance had died in her sleep. To make matters worse, when the autopsy was performed, they had to remove Aiden. I then had to take my brother shopping for preemie clothes to bury his dead son in, and wait for him to meet his son for the first time, and say goodbye to his fiance at the funeral home. I can't ask how or why, because that's irrelevant. All I know is I have never been this sad or heartbroken in my life. Prayer seems to be all I have, that my baby brother will be able to find peace, and the happiness he once had, and so deserves again.
