A few weeks ago my niece, Angie, found out that her pregnancy was twins. It was a great joy and the news spread quickly through family and friends. Sadly, this past weekend, one of the twins died. The doctors say that sometimes this happens due to chromosomal defects as well as other health problems.
The hope is that Angie's body will absorb the fetus and that the remaining twin will do fine, but nothing is for sure right now. As you can imagine, Angie and family are devastated. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, but dealing with a loss like this is must be especially hard for Angie and Aaron. Their little girls were excited about the idea of twins and for them to have to now understand this is very hard. Luckily their son Owen is a little too young to really understand, so he will be a good distraction for all.

It is one day at a time now.
