	Gone in an Instant
	By Hanna I had heard the best news a woman can hear! I was pregnant, going to have a baby! After many years of wanting to become a mother, Here it was, the moment I became one! In an instant, all fear and concern for myself was gone! "Don't worry about me" I remember saying to myself I no longer mattered. "save the life growing inside." Give me the chance to nurture this life, I love you, please don't leave me now! As I sat and waited, waited and sat. I was thinking of our lives ahead, In 8 more short months, we would meet face to face! The nurses and doctors flooded in. I knew our time was up. You were leaving me! This was a choice I am sure neither had any control over! I still feel as if it was my fault. I loved you so much. It was only a few short hours, not enough! As I sit here thinking of you, I hope you know how much I really did love you! There is a hole in my heart, my arms void of something to hold! Why did this happen to us? What did we do wrong? I see women having babies left and right, like it's no big deal! Yet, here I sit, alone and overwhelmed. Empty and Angry. I hope we will get another chance. You will come back to me! Our time will come...someday, keep you fingers crossed!!!
