The funeral for my best friends baby was this morning. I have never been to anything as horrible as this was. Simon's coffin was just a little bigger than a shoe box. It was a small service with mostly family. Just to see the coffin, then the graveside service... unbelievably heartbreaking.... took one person to carry his tiny coffin, one person to lay it in the ground...just so devastating. After the funeral we all went back to her parents house for sandwiches and to just talk. It was nice to be able to talk to her and she seems to be handling it ok. She cried a lot, but I expected nothing less... I cried my eyes out. Her hubby is doin ok and has really been her rock so I am thanksful for that. Her dad is also taking this very hard. I have known my best friend and her family for almost 20 years and have NEVER seen him cry or come close to it, and he was crying pretty bad today... he is a wonderful person with the best heart and loves kids. Just dont understand... I know there is a reason for everything.. but WHY her??? She has a great heart, is great with kids, LOVES kids... she is incredibly patient and so is her hubby... heck he is just like a kid! They would make GREAT parents... and here other ppl dont want kids, have kids and are HORRIBLE parents... it is sooo unfair.
Well, they are goin to try again in a few months when her doctor says its ok to. If there is another miscarriage then they will stop trying and adopt. I just hope that she can get pregnant again and that she can have a baby of her own. They both want a pretty big family, so hopefully one way or the other they get it. I love em both and wish them the best. God Bless you little Simon Gabriel.... we love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
