It was a quick visit. The baby was literally born hours prior and I didn't want to overstay; I came in for a quick hug and dropping off food and stuff. In fact they were in with a nurse when I first knocked and I said I could just leave the bag and see them another day. They yelled through the door, "No hold on we wanna see you!" Ended up waiting in the hallway for 20 minutes and doing my best not to cry watching the quiet hustle and bustle of the ward.
Today is Yom HaZikaron, Israel's Memorial Day, remembering the military personnel who lost their lives while in active duty protecting the State of Israel. The stories of young soldiers dying and leaving behind their families break my heart.
I know it's not about this today but I can't help remember my own little soldiers who never made it. It's been a tough few days and I'm having a tough time keeping the tears away. When I feel like this it seems like there just aren't enough tissues in the world.
Labour and delivery is very weird to visit if you don’t have a baby imminently arriving, IMO. I can only imagine how painful it was for you. You were brave to go there. I hope it will be for your own date with destiny soon!
ReplyDeleteReally tough being in L&D after all you've been through...hard not to have tears when thinking of your little soldiers too. Take care of yourself and your time will come my friend....some way...some how...it just has to..thinking of you!
