They look so happy.

I would have sobbed, too. What a terrible experience.

Thank you for sharing this tribute. It was beautiful. Thinking of you.

Alice. Or June. Something monosyllabic.

Google “vestibular migraines,” and see if it’s you.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas! I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. I hope your meds kick in soon. If you can, try to respond to your friends. They likely thought they were being helpful by keeping their germy bodies away from Baby C.
