Two Lost Souls
There is no more tragic loss than the loss of a child. It does not fit normally or comfortably into the life cycle. Michael and Devon, whose identifies are mixed in the story, had a major impact on this author and everyone whose path they crossed. Just knowing them enriched my life in ways that are hard to describe. Suffice it to say that during their all-too-short lives, they gave me the inspiration and strength to write about my own struggles with starting a family…my two miscarriages, subsequently infertility, and the emotional upheaval they brought. While it has been a few years since we lost both Micheal and Devon, the emptiness of their absence never goes away. May time ease the pain of those family members and friends they left behind, and may the both rest in peace.
