Feb. 11th, 2009 10:36 amI realize I'm already swarming you guys today...sorry...but...
On someone's blog, they mentioned how someone they knew had gone into labor at 24 weeks, and the little girl died very soon after birth.
These things get to me sometimes. That was (approximately) when I was born. I know that a lot of times, there are other things going on besides the prematurity. For example, I weighed much more than I should have for when I was born, which surely tilted the odds a bit more in my favor. But...fuck. 19 years ago, I lived without too much permanent damage...and babies born later, in this decade, die within minutes.
What the fuck? I think this is why I don't believe in God a lot of the time. No just God kills babies indiscriminately like that.
I'm a bit bitter today. I think it's carry-over from last night.
