    11yo daughter: “What are furries?” Me: *chokes* “Where did you hear that?” 11yo: “My book talks about a furry.” Me: “What book?” 11yo: “Little Men, by Louisa May Alcott.” Me: “Is this spelled with one R or two?” 11yo: One. Me: *exhales*

    I’ve waited long enough and I need to let the world see her, my Margaret Clare. Hiding her away isn’t helping. I love you, Maggie.

    One of my old confessors, God rest his soul, I’m sure he’s passed by now, gave me the penance of saying, ten times: “Dearest Jesus, I love you, make me a saint.” Let me tell you, if you pray that regularly, it will change your heart and God will absolutely send you trials, but

    But hiding her away, especially since we’re all feeling so hidden away, hasn’t really helped. I’m not ashamed of my little girl. I love her and I will see her again, when God in His mercy brings me to her.

    I worried when this happened that it would be a strain on our marriage. I’ve heard how that can happen. I understand it. Praise God, He’s made us closer than ever. We have a strong marriage. We were already united in everything. Except suffering. Now we share that, too.

    It hurt a lot to go from the incredible high of “we’re having a baby today!” to the devastating rock bottom of burying out daughter. In an instant. In a moment when they couldn’t find her heartbeat.

    Maggie died hours before her scheduled birth on May 26. No previous indications of problems except a brief miscarriage scare early on that turned out to be nothing. When she was born, it was clear she had Down Syndrome.

    They act like dads aren’t supposed to have feelings about this. The nurses kept giving my wife counseling referrals and never even mentioned anything to me. I’m here to tell you it’s tearing me apart inside. I miss you, Maggie, and I love you.

    When I saw her, my mind was in shock. I knew it was trying to put the baby in a box. It wasn’t my daughter, it was just “a baby.” I refused to go along. I found her nose. That’s my wife’s nose. That’s our baby. Our baby who had died.

    I’ve hidden her, afraid of negative comments about her appearance, both for DS and on account of her coloring, which seems likely to be due to the heart defect that took her life.

    And it was the quietest c-section there’s ever been. There was no chatter between the surgeon and techs about upcoming plans. No radio music. No laughter, no joy, and no cries from our baby. Only silent sobs.

    Still have the car seat in the back of the car. Brand new. Meant to donate it, just haven’t yet. I had to go hide it when we left the hospital so my wife wouldn’t burst into tears. Hospital tried to hassle me about re-entry and COVID. “I lost a baby.” They stood down.
