She does have a 3 year old daughter already...I'm not sure how different it'll be for her because of already having a child. She lost her son at 35 weeks for a placenta eruption. They did have pictures done also and they kept Jeremiah in the room with them for a while. Her name is Melinda & her husband's name is Fred. I want to pass along your blog to her so she can read what you guys went through-when she's ready. They are strong Christians & have a great support system between family, church family & friends. I'll facebook you their address! Thanks again for your response. Thanks for the response!

I think of you and Jeremy often. What happened that she lost her son at 35 weeks? Please tell us her name so we can pray for her. I'm not sure what to say other than what I've already said in this blog: death is horrible and we are all going to grieve differently. I would be careful with your child around her... it's so hard for us to see kids even still. It's not that we can't be with babies or young kids, it's just difficult. We were advised to take as many pictures as we could of our baby. That was awesome advice. It seemed so horrible and morbid at the time but it's the only time you get to be with your child and it's amazing to have pictures to remind us of how real and amazing our son was. If you are close to them I think the best thing you can do is listen and be there. Please send us their mailing address. We would love to send them a card. Laura,

I love this post! Just today (October 4th) one of my friends lost her son at 35 weeks. Can you give me any advice? What did others do that was helpful during this awful time? Something NOT to do? I'd appreciate it. Praying for you all! Laura Lathroum John,

I have been following along with your story since "My Grey Cube". I have been moved beyond words on your posts and thought about sending you a message so many times, but I could never come up with anything that seemed even remotely adequate. After reading this tonight though, I just want to say "thank you". Thank you both for sharing your story so authentically and from the depths of your hearts.... Hi John,
