It’s all revolving around children.
It seems like all the good news and all the bad news I hear lately revolves around children. First, I have two friends who are waiting for US gov’t approval so they can begin waiting for Chinese government approval to adopt a baby. Then, two friends of mine are having kids soon. One will be a boy, and one will be a girl. One reason my friends’ friend’s murder was so upsetting was that she was a mother, and it all happened in front of her small son. Then, to bring some cheer, Alice had her five puppies. Yesterday, though, I got a text message from one of my friends saying, “Hi. Can I return the movie to you next week? This month I lost my baby. It let us feel so upset!” She had been about one month pregnant.
