There is nothing sadder in this mortal coil

[cmediya]

...than to see a dead baby in a box carton. A stillborn baby after a c-section operation. I was monitoring the mother's health when I noticed a box near the table where I was writing. I thought it was clothes for the mother. The family then went inside and opened the box and there it was, the baby still covered in his own feces, the cause of his death.

I do owe the baby my major operation scrub so I lit a candle outside my boarding house and said a little prayer to pay my respects. When you deal with death, it can be nerve racking.
