After a difficult, abusive marriage and divorce, I fell in love with the love of my life, I became pregnant for the first time at the age of 34. (Note: I had adopted a baby in my firt marriage as my ex-husband couldn't have children.)We were so happy, as was his parents. He had had a bad marriage also and he was 37. His mother and father were so happy to see thier son change to being full of life again. We all couldn't wait til the birth of this new baby. Grandpa was especially anxious, telling me how much he wanted to hold and see his new little grandbaby, rubbing my belly and watching the baby as it would kick. My due date of June 26 came and went uneventfully. On June 29, by father-in-law had a massive heart attack and died. I was due to go to the hospital the next day for inducment of labor. Of course I called by OB and explained the situation and he said we could wait a week, unless nature took her course before. The next Tuesday I went in to induce labor. On Thursday, July 9, after the pit drip had been going for 1 1/2 days, the OB broke my water, anyway at 6:42pm Sarah was born by C-section. After coming home someone was staying with Grandma every hour and it was our turn. We loaded up and away we went. At about 2 am Sarah started crying so I got up and began feeding and rocking her. She still was fussy and crying after eating and I thought she would wake everyone in the house, when suddenly I looked down the hallway and saw a vague light coming at me, when it got closer Sarah stopped crying and went right to sleep. To me this was Grandpa bending over and kissing his new little granddaughter and telling her he loved her and it was ok, he would see her again in heaven. I was not afraid and it really touched my heart. That was in 1992 and Sarah is 7 now, her father at age 46 has recently died of a massive heart attack. I know someday her and her little brother age 6 will see Grandpa, Grandma and Daddy in heaven again. How it changed my life:I'm trying to cope day by day, but the experience of my father-in-law has helped me through some tough times. I am just waiting until I feel something from Daddy....
