On August 26, 2007 - three years to the day after Quinn was born - my wife gave birth to our third child, a daughter named Nora. <BR/><BR/>Nora was born with a severe chromosomal abnormality called Trisomy 18 - many of her organs were malformed and non-functioning - and she died 42 hours later.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to let you know I thought of your family during our two-day ordeal, and I thought it might give you comfort to know that you, a total stranger to me save a random overall-related blog post, gave me comfort. <BR/><BR/>I realize that writing about Quinn (like me writing about Nora) is most likely for your own sanity and nothing else. But reading your candid thoughts helped me realize we are not the only people to go through something so heartbreaking.<BR/><BR/>And there you have it. So thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
