Two years ago yesterday my uncle in Louisiana died

I'm glad if he had to go it was before the pandemic so that my mom and surviving siblings were able to go down and say goodbye to him.

Tomorrow his granddaughter would have been 28 years old - she was stillborn.

All of us who survive our birth have to die someday...

But to be born dead is a loss that has no redeeming qualities to it.
