That’s exactly what I was thinking, Hal.
I’m sorry for your loss, TokyoPlayer. I wish I could send you and your wife a hug.
And I, too. Very sorry.
I’m so very sorry. May you and your wife find gentle peace.
I meant TokyoPlayer and wife, of course. My apologies if my unclarity led to insult or problem.
I think he meant that, hopefully, by the time you get to buy them a drink, TokyoWife will be in a condition in which one should not be drinking alcohol…
I’m very sorry, TokyoPlayer and TokyoWife, for your loss.
Your words were very beautiful, and filled with pain. I remembered the pain of losing my baby decades ago, and I cried with you.
Smiling now at the news that you will try again when the time is right… I’ll be rooting for you both.
Thanks everyone so, so much for your encouragement. It’s amaising how many people are concerned and how supportive everyone is.
We had a busy weekend. I had a previously golf game on Saturday, which I wanted to cancel and stay with TokyoWife, but she insisted that I go. Golfing is one of my healthiest methods of releasing stress, and it did a world of good. Belting the ball down the fairway is such a good feeling.
We got together that night with her friends, and then a farewell party in the afternoon on Sunday for more of her friends, and a birthday party at night for another of her friends. Other than sleeping, we weren’t home at all.
At the afternoon party, I entertained the kids and babysat the 7-month old. When the mother commented on how well I play with babies, she said that I must be the best father she knows. (Many Oriental fathers don’t get as involved as much as Westerners.) I just smiled and said thanks, and didn’t go further that that.
Holding 5-year-old boys above my hear and upside down so they can walk on the ceiling, and caring for babies reminds me again of how much I want to do this with mine some day.
I, too, hope that Sunspace can buy me a beer and TokyoWife an orange juice this summer. 
My sister’s stepdaughter is pregnant and since they are a little short on cash, I’m giving them $2,000 to help out. I’ll donate some more to the hospital, in Mi-chan’s name, to match the gift I gave after Ian passed away.
We have been given so much in life, and joy we’ve had in the short time we’ve known with our children, inspires us to reach out to help others. It’s also partly selfish; giving helps ease the pain.
My thanks again to everyone who has given kind comments or even posted sad faces. No words erase the pain, but knowing that people – strangers throughout the globe – are pulling for us, means so much.
So sorry for your loss TokyoPlayer. I wish you and your wife the very best in these times.
My condolences to you both, I can’t think of anything else to say except that you and your family will be in my thoughts.
Nothing to say except – so sorry 
I hope that you will soon get to hold your very own child and guide him/her on his/her way into the world!
My wife started to bleed a little Sunday, which continued yesterday. She didn’t feel well, so she went in to the doctors today and had the miscarrage there.
I’m headed home from work now.
There’s not much else to say. I’ll write more later.
<sigh>
I am so sorry.
You’ll be a daddy yet. Keep trying.
