Before she was born we worried about baby clothes
and strollers and bassinets. We worried about which preschool she
would attend, which high school and college. We worried about what
it would be like if she got married and moved away from home—all
this before we ever laid eyes on our beautiful daughter.
What we didn't know to worry about
was Supplemental Newborn Screening.
So our only worries became which
funeral home to call, which cemetery to bury her in, which headstone
we should choose—and how to pick up the pieces of a broken
heart.
