My little piece of sunshine

the long version

"Danny answered breathless on the first ring, shouting that Bryanna had choked on her bottle. I screamed and dropped the phone. When I realized what I had done, I grabbed the dangling phone and told him that I was on my way to the local hospital. My coworker turned on her flashing hazard lights and sped us to the hospital as fast as she safely could. I looked at her on the way there and said several times, "I think my baby is dead." My coworker tried to reassure me, "Don't think that way. You don't know yet." I listened to her words, but somehow I already knew in my heart that Bryanna was gone. Maybe it was a mother's instinct or perhaps, I was just mentally preparing myself for the very worst."--Page 4 of cover.
