I think of you a lot and how brave you are to open up. Some of these feelings are so painful and I agree with you about why are some children taken while others get better.

Why one baby, but the other? <BR/><BR/>I like your analogy of God as your parents. Sometimes, one searches and searches for why, but I think you're right.
