You don't realize how much of a miracle birth is until you realize that 60% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
Takes life into a new perspective doesn't it. The fact that a woman can get pregnant is amazing sometimes, especially if there are fertility problems, or if the woman is older. But then for that woman to realize she is pregnant and then have her world dropped out from underneath her...it's hard. I've never experienced it, and I really never want to. I've heard of so many women that this has happened to. I even have twin sisters and another brother in heaven that I never met.
I just know what a precious gift God has given me by being alive. I've made it this far, I hope I don't take it for granted and waste this gift of life.

Random? Or were you studying birth stats? You do raise a good pint, I'm totally against abortions, but I never though of miscarried babies going to heaven. Isn't that a contradiction? No abortion is wrong, they are people, no they aren't in heaven, they never lived. Well I guess that changes my view of misscarriages... way to make it even sadder.
It's not just random, I found out the day before I wrote this, that a friend had just miscarried...so you see it's not random.
I did not know this statistic. Life is quite a miracle!
