[tri-wings] Re: Please be careful (for Jean)

That's a completely understandable thing, the hardest thing for us was 
not knowing when it would happen and, to see her so still on the 
sonogram on the day we found out, was completely soul destroying.  But 
for us, we wanted to hope that there was a chance for her, even though 
we knew deep down that there was none, it was the one thing that kept us 
going.  We did consider termination, we even went to see a doctor about 
it and scheduled it, but backed out at the last minute.  We just 
couldn't give her up.  That's why I think you're brave, you had the 
courage to give your baby wings and take her pain and suffering away.
