Damhna and I have lost our baby. Although we knew from the start it would be a risky pregnancy things were going so well that this is an enormous and devastating shock for the two of us. We are very glad, however, that we allowed ourselves to love our son and took as much joy and delight in the experience as any two people possibly could. ---
