unprepared....

ok, so.....on my way to the lexington goodwills and a sushi lunch mit mien kinder.....i stopped by the visitation for a coworker who lost her newborn.....the loss was expected, but the preknowledge cannot prepare one for the devastating loss of birthing a baby, only to hold him til he dies of natural causes......oh my....and at the visitation i was also unprepared for the opportunity to see the deceased infant.....who was being passed around between the parents and the grandparents and the aunts and uncles...dressed in a blue outfit and wrapped in a blue blanket......very tiny for being born so early.....i was glad that i was able to leave before the funeral home folks had to take the baby from the mamma for the last time.....so as to follow through with the scheduled burial....so very sad....
