Baby Threesome No Longer

A while ago, I was informed that a friend of a dear friend was going to have triplets with his wife! I thought about how fantastic that was! I was so excited for them. except for the fact that they were 50 almost 60. I thought it might just be too old, but then I said, hey!, let 'em take a whack at it. It only went downhill from there. She was told she couldn't travel any longer. At five months, she was then told that she had to stay bedridden for the rest of the pregnancy. They were going to try and force the babies out after about a month more. The soon-to-be mother was just to weak her health and age. I prayed that everything would work out. But then, they day all of us were trying to avoid, finally came. The husband got the call that they babies weren't coming. They had all died. I felt so sad for them. They were so exited and I know they would have been great parents. But someone then told them that everything happens for a reason. True? Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure time will heal soon enough.
