I wander around aimlessly these days. But I know this will take time, though it doesn't make things any easier.
Still, others have suffered too. My heart aches for Monkfan's friend who lost his daughter in a house fire, or BleedBurgundy who, with his wife, had waited for the right time to have their baby and lost theirs too.
Our pregnancy was a surprise and I took it for granted. Now I know I won't next time and as scared I am about the next time I know we're ready.
I'll start responding in the locker room again soon. I have some thoughts and insights

Hey man. I know things must be pretty tough for you right now but you are right, now you will be better prepared when your wife does get pregnant again.
And you shouldn't come back because we all like you and want you around here to share your insights. You should come back when you're ready. I'd have a hard time thinking about the Redskins at a time like this, but if you can take the time out to visit the boards at a time like this it just proves you're a stronger man than me.
