This unfortunately happened to a cousin of mine. This goes beyond words. Very well written. Congratulations on winning the Bronze.

"There is no falling in love, like the falling in love with a child." The truth of life that is unconditional love, is that of a newborn and mother. A sometimes tragic tale in this world, that of the stillborn. Well done and congrats on the bronze.
