h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

for what you said at Peer Review.

thank you

My brother became a father for the first time in Oct - to imagine how he and his partner would have faced their little girl's death after so little time with her...

It's unthinkable....
And even if you haven't gone through it, if you are a parent, it makes you want to hold your children close...
There are no special exceptions, death ignores wealth and status.
The Browns will never forget but they have each other and time will ease the pain.
You were right about me, I wrote the entry in about half an hour - it eased the pain I was feeling.
Jim & Bernadette Lynn also had a baby who lived 10 days.
When I posted at Bernadette's tribute entry, Jim replied that he thought what I'd gone through was worse - my first baby was stillborn and I never saw him, never got the chance to bury him.
That was 24 years ago....almost a quarter of a century.
Watching what the Browns went through on tv..I was alarmed at her birthweight - she weighed less than my son had done - brought it all back, first the hope that everything will be ok, then the hourly bulletins on the state of her health....all in your own front living room...it really feels like it's happening to you all over again.

I tried to make that entry a professional one, one her parents would be proud to read eventually.

Thank you again for your support.
Please give your little niece a bigandfrom me.
