My girlfriend's 4-month-old cousin died this morning...

Those of you who know me know about Nell. Well, Nell had a baby cousin named Charlotte, who was about 4 months old. Charlotte's grandmother was carrying her and had a stroke. She landed on Charlotte, so... Charlotte didn't make it. Her grandma is currently hemorrhaging in the brain, and we still don't know if she'll make it or not. The test results haven't come in yet.

If she survives, she'll possibly be left in a vegetative state, which I see as pretty pointless. Regardless, I just wanted you all aware so in case I'm not quick to respond sometimes, I'm helping Nell deal with the loss.

That's really unfortunate. I suppose I speak for everyone when I say to tell her that we're sorry.

I will. Thanks.

It still sucks hearing about it. To think that could have been me at that age. :mellow: I was born a crackbaby, so there's many possibilities that could have happened to me and I wouldn't be here.

Nell had asked me a question that I already answered before she got to ask: "Will our kids be okay?"

Makes you stop and think sometimes...

Yeah, same here. There were lots of opportunities for me to die, too. I mean, I could've been thrown out in the garbage someplace or something. I guess I'm pretty lucky, but I've always thought that way.

Also, I wouldn't stress out over it more than you should. There's nothing you can do for something that doesn't provoke warning. I'm sure you guys will be good parents.

Heh, thanks. I know we will be. It's a matter of health issues, too. As long as we take care of ourselves, we can take care of our kids and it'll be much easier.

That is so sad... I couldn't believe it at first when you told me about it. It just shows doesn't it, we can never take advantage of life as you never know what will happen. But a 4 month old baby... God... She nver got a chance at all for life... It' so sad.

I admit I could have died when I was a baby too. I had some infection in my body where it could have killed me. Especially when they tried removing it and didn't remove it completely. It travelled to my brain so god knows what would have happened if they didn't remove it properly that time. But yeah... I was lucky I guess.

I guess all 3 of us were... Me, you, Kairi... It still gets to me, even now, so long after it all happened.

Life is funny like that I guess. Just when you want to assume or think everyone will at least get a chance to prove themselves in life or make their own path, they don't.

I wasn't as young, but apparently when I was two I leaned back in a wooden chair, fell backwards and hit my head. I had a concussion and was really close to going into a coma. Freaks me out to think about it now.
