   I feel like I need to say this here, because I've mentioned that my wife is pregnant. Our baby died. They doctor thinks the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. He was healthy and probably would have been born as such, but then this freak accident happened and now he's dead and my wife has to birth a dead baby on Father's Day and everything sucks.

   Not really looking for replies, but felt like I needed to put it out there.

   His name, I think, will be Henry John.

      The weirdest part of having a dead baby is reassuring my four-year-old that, when she has a new born baby someday, it will probably not be dead.

         We received Henry's ashes today. He was so small to begin with, that the urn we choose can fit in the palm of my hand. A whole life unlived, in the palm of my hand.
