Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do.

This, without a doubt, tops my list of things I hope I never have to do:

Bury a child of mine before I die.

I've been to several funerals throughout my life. All are sad. But, to me, the one (or two) people I focus on the most throughout a funeral service is that person's mother and/or father. I can't even begin the imagine the heartbreak and the feeling of unfairness in the world to be there, be strong, and say goodbye to a baby you brought into this world. I just don't know if I'd be able to do it.

I hope I never have to.

By far one of my biggest fears too.
