I lost three big babies and I am still holding up fine.""This one is innocent." He pointed out."You're bent on making me miserable aren't you?" She blinked back tears. She sat crossed-legged on the bed, dropped her gaze, and picked at the frayed hems of the hospital clothes worn on her."I just want to say it's okay to feel pain but let it loose.
