Amazing...

It's amazing how something I thought was impossible way back when could affect me so deeply. Years ago I joined a couple of "Trying To Conceive" type forums and 'met' several people who ended up getting pregnant the same month that I did. I could never have imagined that I would become such close friends with some of them. Many of them I have met along the way, many of them I probably never will. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who has never been a part of a community like this.

In many cases, I tell them things that I don't tell most of my "real" friends. I am a part of such a community for Ainsley, and we found out that one of our fellow moms was stabbed to death by her husband this past weekend. You cam imagine right now we're sort of in that "can we do anything" phase. I suspect as the days go on it will really sink in. I was reading a news report about it this morning and got so choked up Avery looked at me with great concern and wanted to comfort me.

I can't imagine how I would feel if someone in my group of women with babies born around when Avery was born was hurt or killed. Those women are some of my closest friends, crazy I know. Some of us became friends way back when we were posting on Fertility Friend and now our kids are all starting preschool and picking out their own clothes in the morning.

Sorry for the sappy post, I'm just kind of sick over this. This woman was really trying to put her life together and leave her abusive husband. What a complete and total tragedy.
