Thanks Mandy.  This part really hit me.  I know in the past when I have
answered this question I usually say 3 instead of 4.  That is ONLY because I
try to avoid that look of pity that people give me when they hear that I
lost a baby.  I hate that pitiful look.  Little do they know I feel blessed
to have had such a beautiful angel in my life.  Wouldn't it be nice if
people responded with something like, "Oh, so you have a little angel.",
instead of "Oh, I'm sorry."  I know people just don't know what else to say.
But I now realize that Brandon deserves to be recognized as one of my
children no matter what kind of a reaction I get.  I will definitely be
saying 4 from now on.
