My friend told me a few months ago that her baby son is almost due and I was telling her that it is a pity it won't be a baby girl. I personally prefer girls because they can be dressed in more interesting ways. Now I won't even debate with her about which sex is better. Because she gave birth to a stillborn. She had some virus attack which endangered her life but thank goodness she didn't lose her life but unfortunately the son she had been yearning for is gone. I kinda regret having teased her for not being able to dress up her child. Gender does not matter anymore. What is more important is that the kid should have survived. Life is so precious. I know that is very cliched but I never realised how much agony a mother to be can feel till this day. A child is afterall another precious human life, it does not matter what race, what gender etc. What matters is the child survives and is healthy. I hope she will be able to conceive healthy babies in the future.
