You did it all right, nature fucked it up. Bad. <BR/>I'm so sorry for you, for C, and for your beautiful boys. They deserved a long lifetime with you, not the few short weeks they had. <BR/>I hope the writing and the inevitable tears that come with it help you in some way, to heal. I know it's a bitch to write it, but it did, at least for me, help me to see it, to not be afraid, as much, to think about it. But I still have a really long way to go...I guess we all do.<BR/>xxook@laklyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366772609212990882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-34582183671246162332008-12-25T22:29:00.000-05:002008-12-25T22:29:00.000-05:00I haven't read any of your more recent posts yet. ...I haven't read any of your more recent posts yet.

I know my saying this means diddly-boo and you need to convince yourself, but there is *nothing* that could've been done. It sounds to me as though an earlier phone call would've set you up on monitoring -- where you would've been when the shit hit the fan inevitably anyway. There is no failure here, only tragically bad luck. <BR/><BR/>The love you both had for your boys shines through your writing. I'm so overwhelmingly sorry for your loss.
