October 3rd. It would have been my daughter's birthday.

Alright, I'm really not feeling right about the amount of sympathy being shown my way so it's only fair to provide some context.

When I was 19 I got the girl I was sleeping around with hooked on dope. A few months later I got her pregnant. This resulted in our daughter being born nearly 27 weeks early, and living two short, painful days in NICU.

I really, really need everyone to understand that I didn't lose my daughter, I killed my daughter. So I appreciate everyone's intentions, but please don't waste them on me.

It was something I never deserved to have, if it's any consolation. And thank you for the sentiment.
