Even though I am a terrible writer, I love to read since a very early age and became very sensitive to style.<br />I disagree with the ones that didn't like the beautiful boy said you were jaded (I said "were" in the past on purpose). At least he gave you something to work on and he was probably honest. I hate when they say "it is nothing about you, it is all my fault". I don't believe them.<br />I don't think that being jaded would have helped you to deal with your loss, though.<br />Wonderful news!

Tornados are so rare there - that's the only one i remember ever.<br /><br />Maybe it's not jaded, it just being realistic, looking at life without rose-colored glasses.<br /><br />hey - you are like two weeks behind us! and I don't think 'if' is jaded - just scared - and it's a protective mechanism. It's slowly switching over to when, some tentative talking about things to do with the baby.

I'm not sure that's really pessimistic, jaded or cynical (this coming from a born-and-raised-and validated cynic), but real and grounded and honest.
