Very Sad...something to think about while we are atoning

This blog was posted on a mom's chatboard that I go to (yeah I still go to those). I hate to share something so sad but I am going to just because the story is very touching and the girl who is writing it is amazing. If you are someone who can't hear stories like this, just don't look at it. Every time I read a part of it I end up in tears but for some reason I keep going back and reading more of it. Basically this girl (who is obviously very religious) had a miscarriage last year, then got pregnant again and her baby was diagnosed with a fatal congenital defect pretty early on. The mother went through with the whole pregnancy and the baby was born 2 days ago. He lived for 16 minutes. She started the blog right after the diagnosis and wrote letters to the baby every day. She actually lives in Maryland. It just makes you realize that anyone who has a healthy baby is so lucky and we really can't take one thing for granted. This story makes me want to just hold Max and kiss his face all day long. It won't let me put it in a link right now but here is the address:
