I'm hanging out in Dallas in the hospital with one of my best friends who is dealing with some of the worst pain of her, or anyone's, life. I could type for hours about what she's been through while trying to have a baby with her husband, but it wouldn't mean much without all of the background and details that i'd rather not go in to. Last year around this time she delivered her daughter at 25 weeks and was lucky to see her breathing on her own, but after 17 days her little body gave out and they lost her. She became pregnant again recently, but this child also came way too early. This time at 23 weeks. Her chances for survival are far less, and we were lucky to keep her mother who had a near brush with death. I don't know what to do, but I want to be a good friend. I want to be that great friend that makes everything so much easier, but I don't know how. I sit here for hours thinking and thinking while feeling completely useless. Everyone is in so much pain.
