My September 11 memory

I just want to say that September 11, 2001 will forever be in the hearts of all Americans. It will be forever in my memory. But another September 11th memory is and will be closer to my heart than the one in 2001.
On September 1991, 10 years before the terrorist attack, I was fighting to save my unborn baby. At five months pregnant, having contractions, bleeding, the doctor's says that they can't find a heartbeat. I go to the hospital a few hours later, the ultrasound shows no heartbeat, one hour later, delivered prematurely.
Jamie Lee Duncan came and was gone in an instant.
We prayed the entire week before this day. Lord please don't let our baby die. But for reasons that we have yet to understand, our baby died. God's plan is greater than ours, we know this and someday we will be with our baby again and will understand the reason why he was not a part of our daily life here on earth.
I think of him everyday. I wonder how our lives would be, had he been with us these 17 years, how Brandy's life would have been with a brother to grow up with.
Well I haven't talk with very many people about our grief over our baby, but for some reason I felt the need to put my memory here.
I will not go into the details of all that transpired the week before my most horrifying day, September 11, 1991. But it was and will most probably be the worst day of my life.
My heart goes out to all who have lost a child, I pray for you, please pray for me.
