I was there
I was there when a doctor had to tell a couple that their baby was dead.
He was very gentle.
He took the ultrasound
and put it on the woman's belly, because the baby was still in there.
And showed the husband and his wife their baby's heart.
That it ws not beating.
It was so quiet.
The room was so quiet.
And then the husband said, it isn't beating.
And the doctor said, No.
And the mother said, what can we do.
And the tears just silently going down my neck.
And the father asked, can we start it again?
And the doctor said, I'm sorry.
And the wife said, Oh, Honey...
Our little baby...
And he said I know.
