A Letter To Miscarriage Babies
Deniks

Dear angels:

First off, I want you all to know that your families are always thinking about you and wish you were here. For natural reasons you were taken from this world way too early, but know we love you and think of you every day. How would I know? Well, my mother lost a baby just like you and we miss him every day.

He would have been 24 on the 27th of this month. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of my big brother – Sebastián – and wish he were here with me. You know, it’s funny how much we miss you little ones. You’d think you couldn’t miss someone you’ve never met, but you do and you miss them terribly.

A few months ago I was going through some hard times and my brother kept coming to my mind and I knew he was trying to comfort me, and that was so beautiful. We know you are with us, so know we carry you with us, too. We all have our ways of honoring you, whether it’s flowers or stars or any other thing that we’ve chosen especially for you – we keep you somewhere near us. As a writer, I keep my brother in my work. I write him letters sometimes and even though I can’t mail them, I know my words reach him somehow.

Little ones, know that we imagine your future just like anyone else’s. We imagine how kind, intelligent, and successful you’d be. I’m writing my brother a story and sometimes I think he writes it for me. I feel like I know him so much better as I write, and maybe it’s all made up but I wanted to write him a story because he couldn’t write his own.

I really wish you all could be here with your families. I wish you had each and every birthday party, every milestone, every dream. I wish we could comfort you like you comfort us in our darkest times. I wish you were here so we didn’t have to wonder what you could have been and why you were taken from us.

He would have been 24 on the 27th. He would have been silly and smart and generous. He would have loved us as much as we love him, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. Tiny cherubs – know that we love you even when you’re so far away and know we’ll always carry you in our hearts.

With much love,

Your family.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
