Sadness returns...

Dear Nicky,

We got the call this afternoon. Somehow, the same lab that was saying last week they wouldn't be able to confirm anything till after you were born now managed to do exactly that. They confirmed their initial findings. Unless a miracle occurs, or has occurred, or is occurring, you will have Trisomy 21, my sweet, darling boy. Your mother's anguish and your genetic misfortune are breaking my heart. God have mercy on all of us.

I love you no matter what, Nicholas, and I always will.

Dad
