41. Dreaming and Thinking About My Daughter

You Were Gone Too Soon -Daughtry, Gone Too Soon

Time Period: Two years ago

Event: Faith's stillbirth (a home birth)

Place: Laurie and Ivy's house- A bathtub

Laurie's p.o.v

Ivy found it hard to give birth squatting on the floor. Upon request, I run her a nice warm bath. "OH God! please take away my pain. If it is your will, our baby shall live and not die" Ivy prays and cries out to God. She has reached the end of her long hard labor. She takes a quick nap before she starts pushing. I touch and kiss her stomach. A big contraction jolts my wife awake.
