Well it's been a very depressing week indeed. Not only is my grandfather in the hospital, but as it turns out. Chad's mother Sara, was pregnant again, at the age of 42. At first she wasn't to excited about it, but as the months went by she seemed to get more and more excited about it. Well a three or four days ago, her water broke, she was only 5 and a half months along. They got her pregnancy stabilized, but it turns out she got an infection and they couldn't keep the little baby girl (Already named Zoë) inside Sara. So they induced labor and she was born Tuesday morning at 9am. She was doing really well up until around 5pm... then she died. Not really sure of the details... but there you have it. Sara, I know is simply crushed. And I'm so depressed for her. I was even looking forward to this baby. Another sad thing is Jay, Sara's husband and Chad's step father, was still working (he is a pilot) and couldn't even get there in time to see his baby daughter alive. Tomorrow is the funeral for little Zoë, and Chad is going.
It's times like this I wish there where something I could do, you know? Something to help, or comfort, or just show that I care and I'm sad for them. But times like this, only time and family will help the situation... Sara... I'm so so so sorry.
