Hello everyone. I have some things that I need to tell you. Forgive me for being brief, but this is very painful for me.

This weekend, the two girls that I and John (Icingsugar on Lit) have been waiting for, and was born late Saturday morning. The most eager one to see the new world we called Maria, and the second one Martina.

Sadly, little Martina didn't make it through the first night on her own. Her sister is a helthy, feisty girl, but Martina was weak and tired from the first breath. Her heart gave up beating in the middle of the night, and the doctors were unable to save her life.

It is nobody's fault, at least that's what we've been told - that niehter we not the hospital could had prevented this outcome, and that these things just...happen. I don't know. They are probably right. One nurse tried to give us a long winded medical explanation, full of latin words and evasive solutions, but honestly, it went in one ear and out the other. We'll try to make sense of what happened later. We're home now. A bit earlier than was recommended, but Maria is healthy and well, and I just couldn't stay there, in that room anymore.

Seeing all the good wishes (thank you all, wonderful people :heart: ) I just wanted to set the record straight about this. It would be wrong to let you think of us as the twin parents, when we're not. We are parents, the gift of a beautiful daughter has been bestowed on us, and that is such a wonder in itself that we cannot allow ourselves to be greedy. Both our daughters deserves better than that.

It's a very strange place to be in. We will give Maria a double dose of love, and try to put our lives on the right track again. It's a difficult time, but we've both been through difficult times before, so even if it does not feel like it now, I know that we'll come out of this with our heads above water.

We have more reason now than ever.

Forgive me for messing up the good mood here. But I thought that you deserved to know. We're both around, and can be reached by mail and PM, but we have too much to deal with right now for keeping in touch.

Don't worry about us, we are ok, or will be. Shaken, a little confused, and not with all marbles in place yet. So until later...

Thank you for reading. :rose:

Please know that I hold you in my heart and send you out my prayers.

Welcome to the world Maria. You got lucky in the parent department.

Thanks for taking the time to share your difficult news with us Lin and John. :rose:

I don't have any wise advice or words to offer. I just wanted to tell you that you have my deepest sympathy for your loss of Martina and my warmest congratulations on the arrival of Maria. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. :rose:

My love to Maria. She's a very fortunate little girl to have the parents she has. I have a friend who had two sets of twins, and both times she lost one twin. So, I know you'll never forget little Martina. I like to believe she'll always be a little angel watching over you all.
 
Life sometimes plays bittersweet jokes. We are all sad for Martina, but Maria is twice blessed. Keep everyone posted.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Of all things the death of a child is the hardest to understand
I try and tell myself that they just had one more rebirth to go through before they could forever rest in paradise or that maybe they were here for a reason we don't yet understand.
my thoughts are with you and your beautiful daughter
together I'm sure you will get through it
 
My thoughts and hopes and prayers are with you both in the challenging times, both now and to come. Cherish each other, cherish your family and most especially, cherish Maria. In time, you will learn to cherish Martina as well.

My Jessica would have been 21 next month and I cherish her very much.
 
two buds
one bloom

there are no answers
rain falls half in mist half
slides unwanted on a face
made no less beautiful
in spite of pain life blooms
on faces no less beautiful
for shadows mixed with sun

shines so sweetly brief
all life is brief dear friends
one soul's years
are but another's hours

love remains
not measured in humanity
not small or big here
or nowhere has no meaning
love is timeless all
love remains

:rose: :rose:
:heart:
 
I hope you're getting PMs. In case you're not, my love and sympathy to you both.


:heart:
 
Huge hugs and love
:heart: :rose:
My thoughts are with you.

Grief to belief

The loss of one
a chord stroked deep
a key awry, hit off tune

that you softly sing
a song of three,
may time soon peaceful bloom

tears of grief to belief
somehow
somewhere
sometime
Martina cuddles warmest breeze
and Maria soars and climbs

with my best intention Lin and John...:kiss:
