Rainbow Is Real

By Mr King



Such a short life...

But she touched us.



So, was she or wasn't she?

She never made it out of the womb.




But we stood for her life...

We honored her...

We loved her...

And we feel the pain now of her loss.





So, was she or wasn't she?





For she touched us...

We loved her...

And you all, in this community, loved us...

You stood for us...

And for her...




So, thank you.

And in honor of her...

And in honor of the love and support you all gave us...





Even though she was never born...

To us, she will always be remembered as our child...

  • A former member wrote: Pretty brutal, not knowing your child. I'm not sure what's comforting for that s***. A woman I've tried desperately to disentangle with had a child. My child. Expressly to use in manipulation sports. I almost wish... but yet, hurt and rage aside, I feel yours, and recognize it. As kin in the face of a stranger. The hurt is the only real evidence we're still alive!

  • A former member wrote: I'm sorry, Seth. All of my love as you and your wife grow from these hardships.

    I have no idea what you're going through firsthand, but my mom sees her unborn the same way and that she will see them when she goes to heaven. *gives hugs to you and your wife*

    ...many people feel that a miracle is when we are saved from a traumatic event; I believe it's when we find a way to make it through that event and grow stronger from it...that's the miracle...much love to your family... Scholar

    To lose someone you love is hard enough, and to lose your child is even harder. I cannot imagine how it must feel. Yet she is still loved. As corny as it sounds, that love will keep her memory alive. I'm sorry you must go through this.
