The Bachellors


A woman is breastfeeding. Her son lies under a blanket. “That’s disgusting,” you say. “Put that away!” He husband sits As the older son runs wild. “Do something. That kid is obnoxious!” “That’s annoying!” “Bad parents!” “Stupid.” “Don’t they know?” Don’t you know? That family of four Should have been a family of five Six Seven Maybe even more. They lost poor Caleb At 18 months. Healthy and strong But not that night. They cried and hoped Conceive Miscarriage Conceive Miscarriage Those two boys are blessings. She glad she has a child to breastfeed. He’s glad he has a child to watch. So why aren’t you?
