This is just to say

I'm not doing very well.

I'm crying at work.

Thoughts of miscarriage keep crossing my mind. Not as in, wanting to have one, but as in, how could the baby possibly live through this?

I know that's crazy.

But when the majority of my fellow Americans have given their stamp of approval to the architects of Abu Ghraib, where can I find hope? How can I be a parent in this world?

But when the majority of my fellow Americans have given their stamp of approval to the architects of Abu Ghraib, where can I find hope? How can I be a parent in this world?

You find hope in the fact it wasn't a landslide, that millions of your fellow citizens did not give that stamp of approval, and that means you are not alone.

You find hope in your circle of friends and family, who will fight like hell to make the world a better place for you and your child, and that means you are not alone.

And come spring you will look down on a beautiful little girl lying in your arms and you will find hope there too.

Love you, sweetie.
