Tomorrow’s
Child – oil
Robin Freedenfeld
Northampton, MA
My husband and I were travelling in Prince Edwards Island when I was approximately 3 months pregnant with our first child. We were travelling by car when we came to a fork in the road. One road was named "Fortune" and the other road was "Soris." The phonetic pronunciation made us laugh, as in our Jewish households this was a name given to "misfortune." Reluctantly we took the road named Soris because it was in the direction we wanted to go. Within an hour, my miscarriage and misfortune began. It was a terrifying experience, so far from home, and so unaware of the extent of the pain both mentally and physically I was about to endure.
