I’m always afraid to spread good news because I always feel as if I jinx myself if I do
Recently, I posted about the upcoming arrival of our 5th grandchild. I had thought about posting it even before speaking to my son but then, always afraid that I might bachi myself, I refrained from spreading the good news. Once again, I’ve proven myself true. I had a phone call from my son’s girlfriend last week with a bit of sad news. She had a miscarriage a few days after they gave me the news. I then thought about removing the previous post but decided to keep it up instead.
When I spoke to my son’s girlfriend, she seemed fine and she has accepted it well. She said it probably wasn’t time anyway but she remains in good spirits. There is a positive side to this experience, if you could call it positive. That is, she was only a month pregnant. It would’ve been worse if she had been in the last trimester. That would’ve been devastating for all of us.
So, thank you to those who congratulated us.
So sorry to hear about the miscarriage… I hope for a new grandchild when the timing is right.
