I miss my baby

That pretty much sums it up.

I was around too many happy kids, running around at our blocks ice cream social. It just makes me melancholy. Luckily, the two babies didn't show up. I don't know how old they are, but all the kids there today are at least walkers. It's fun to see them and talk to them, but sad too. Triple S was making great conversation with the 13-year-old neigbor boy about astronomy, assuring him that our universe may not actually collide with another, just like a curve ball doesn't (usually) hit the batter. The kid loved the explanation. It's just so sad, because Triple S will be such a good dad, and I just miss that he couldn't do that with Serenity.

Triple S woke up this morning around 5 from a nightmare. It's not my nightmare to tell, but it concerns me. I have tried to encourage him to find an outlet; someone to talk to. Good luck getting him to blog. I just got him on face.book - I even had to set the darn thing up for him. His has maybe seven friends, and last night he was like, "Oh...I have GOT to check my face.book." Like it's a chore to be social. At least he has reconnected with some old high school friends. I just think he needs something different than me, but I don't know what.


I feel like crying, but I am just not stricken enough to bawl. If this goes on, it will build until I do cry, but it is torture to have it building slowly, over days. Tuesday will be my turn in class, where my essays are workshopped and discussed by the others. I hope my mood is good that day. I don't want to be crying the whole class, well, actually any of it.

Hope everyone ha a good week.

It's hard, Ya Chun. Sometimes the sorrow and hurt just seems to sneak up on us when we least expect it.

I get that it is hard to be social. I still find it hard. I hope Triple S finds an outlet for himself. It's so hard for men to deal with this kind of loss and hurt. Do you guys attend infant loss support group meetings in your area? Is there a group like this where you are?

Good luck on Tuesday.

I often feel like this too. I hope your class goes ok tomorrow. Hopefully all of your tears won't sneak out then. Have a good week!

I am so very sorry for your loss of Serenity. Crying helps. It's just not always possible.

I hope class was okay for you today, Ya Chun. Thinking about you and Triple S tonight. Hugs.
