Book Excerpt

Not a Blueprint: It's the Shoe Prints That Matter

After dating for a year, Dana and Larry finally got married. She’d given birth to a set of twins, a girl, and a boy. But her baby boy only lived three days and died at the Little Company of Mary Hospital. Hearing that felt numb. Dana had had a little baby I’d never meet, and I felt her pain. As the tears rolled down my cheeks, I felt so empty inside. I wasn’t sure if the emptiness was for my sister and her loss or for not being able to know her little angel. The one thing I knew was that I had to be there whenever she was ready to talk. In the face of her loss, it wasn’t about giving advice, but listening and sharing time with her. I could only hope my presence would make a difference. As time passed, she never spoke about it. And I had to respect her choice — those were her memories.
