On Thursday, I found myself doing something that I hardly ever do… I was driving the speed limit on the highway. In fact, I might have been going around 5 under. I was completely zoned out and not paying attention to anything. Usually when I’m zoned out and driving, I end up looking down and see that I am driving around 80 – 85 without even realizing.

I left early from work and was driving aimlessly around Kansas and Missouri. I was trying to put my head around a lot of things and struggle with the emotions from the phone call I just finished with Linda.

Without going into the details of everything, I will just share with you the end result. Linda and I lost the baby.

It’s a pretty big hit to us. It is something we wanted and were getting very excited for. What’s more, is that there was such an excitement built up about it from you all that made us very appreciative to have such great people supporting us. However, just like you were there for us when she was pregnant, you were also there for us when we found out the latest. Thank you for that.

It’s Monday. Linda and I are doing well with dealing with it. It’s easier for me to deal with things because although I have to deal with the emotional part, Linda has to deal with the emotional and physical part of it. Send her all your thoughts, and if you have one or two left over when you’ve done that, I’ll take one.
