my heart, it is broken

Over the past week two women I know on Twit­ter have lost their chil­dren. It has left me heart­bro­ken. No, I don’t know these women per­son­ally, but their loss has still moved me. I wanted to come here and write some­thing elo­quent, but now that I sit here no words seem appropriate.

My own chil­dren have been so lucky. I have been so lucky. So many things have gone right for us. There were so many moments when things could have turned out dif­fer­ently, but they didn’t, and my chil­dren sleep safely in bed. I am so very grate­ful for my fam­ily. I am gra­teul for our health. I will snug­gle my kids closely tonight.
