I wrote this piece for an undergraduate course at Trinity College of Vermont. Publishing was a requirement for passing. Many chose the easy route by publishing in the school newspaper or The Burlington Free Press. I chose to challenge myself by writing for a national publication. The day the editor called me from Complete Woman Magazine, I knew I wanted to be a writer. This article shares a heartbreaking time in my life when I wanted children so desperately, but miscarried not one, but two babies. To this day, I still struggle with my loss.
