Mourning a Child At Midnight

Some choose not to have children others maybe one or two three seems to be the max now it’s not like when Paul was young and a family might have had six or more the wife at home, the husband working. Families were big back then. Now families are considered big when a couple has more than three. Years ago Paul and Faye had five but after she took that midnight call and learned they had lost a daughter Faye cried for awhile and then hugged Paul and whispered why didn’t we have seven.
