My brother's fiancee had a stillborn last Saturday. The baby boy (Jonathan, Jr.) had its umbilical cord wrapped around it five times. Hm. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this - of course, I'm sad - but it's just... it was so very, very young, and was never birthed living. I never had a baby or anything so I can't really know how it feels personally cuz I have no experience. I can only imagine. He was only...wha...four, five months old... jeez...
They're giving him a funeral, too. Jon said it'd either be on Tuesday or Thursday (Valentine's Day, wtf?!). It'd probably be in the morning so... I'm definitely going to have to miss classes. Thursday I'll miss a lab AND a three lectures, uahghufuhaughgu. *stress* I dunno if I have to cancel work, either---and I'm JUST starting the job, too! RGH. But I want to be there for them because that's the RIGHT thing to do. ;;;;;
Why do things have to keep happening all at once? e-e;;; Can't someone just cut someone a break around here? ;;
