EDIT: I edited the title because I reread it and felt like I was being really self-absorbed saying it was a sad day for me. Anway...
I am not sure why I am informing Obners of this, but I figured some of you would be interested.
My father IM'd me (yes, IM) today and told me that they found out on Wednesday that after 6 weeks of pregnancy my sister is in the process of having a miscarriage.
I am guessing she didn't want me to know because neither her nor my brother in law called and told me. However, I wrote her (I couldn't call because I am at work) an email expressing my sympathy. I found myself unable to know what to say. I have no concept of what being a father is, let alone being a woman and going through this process. I can't imagine. Either way, the overcast day is a perfect symbol for the emotional status of me and my family. It feels pretty heavy.
