You should not judge. And believe me you don't want to walk in them.
I can't believe this very personal grief is being dredged into an American politics smear campaign. Sacrilegious in my opinion.

I love when Rick says you have to recognize the dignity of your child's life and that your child is forever a part of your family. So very true.
I watched that video tonight. I love that they were able to bring their baby home (who knew you could do that!) and that he said what he did. I know a lot of people will be shocked that he brought his dead baby home, but babyloss parents totally understand it.
ReplyDeleteThere is a "nice" poem about walking in the shoes of a babyloss Mom.
An Ugly Pair of Shoes
Author Unknown
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable Shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in the world.
Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don’t hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by
before they think of how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of the shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
