"are you hoping for a boy this time?"
well, at least i wasn't big enough that she asked what i was having.
i blame the dress.
or i want to.
i also wanted to say "no ma'am i'm not pregnant. i actually just had a daughter 5 months ago. she died. thanks for kicking me."
instead i played it off like i was. "either is fine. as long as they are healthy."
now excuse me while i cry...and run forever.
what a nice end to a stressful day.
love you. came across this this morning: http://inspiredtoaction.com/2012/01/for-when-you-feel-discouraged/
ReplyDeleteYou are brave. You could've easily made her feel bad. Instead, you extended a bit of grace and let it go. I can't say that I would've had the strength to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI know you are nicer than me, I really would have told her exactly what you said~ people in their ignorance need their own swift kick of reality~ and you telling her was just that, GRR!
