The pain of having an abortion is largely invisible, the longing multiplies. The love that Paul and I have is the most constant I have ever encountered. We bought a house with a patio for a baby who hasn't arrived. We call her baby to honor the pain of those who have lost babies that only existed in our bodies and minds.
