Irony
My mother just brought the baby monitor out of hiding...it has purpose once again. Over something of a 12 year span, it has been passed around quite frequently, however, it has only been used for one baby...The rest of its users consist of three cancer patients. Funny how an item that is supposed to be used to keep watch over new life has been modified to monitor those on their last leg...what was symbolic of a beginning now signifies an end. I never thought I would attach such a morbid meaning to something one would find on a baby shower gift registry, but I suppose that is one of the ironies of life.
