very sad news for the couple. Gary was over the moon about having another daughter :(
One thing I'm glad for is the current openness about miscarriages and stillborns in the media. I hope it makes people blame themselves less when they realize how sadly common it is.
Sigh.
You are such an amazing person for what you do and blessings will come to you tenfold.
