Dear Friends,

I have started this, because I know many of you will wish to respond to the posting Matthew made on his earlier thread, tonight, the one about videos for a pregnant wife. Rather than keeping that thread going as a painful reminder, I thought it would be better for us all to post to this one for Matthew and his wife.

This is what he had to say:

Well, I'd like to thank you all for your loving, committed support.

Alas, there is no further need for video rental ideas, because we lost the baby.

Which is why I haven't been on Mudcat much lately.

Thank you all, again, for being such good friends.

Matthew, you know how sorry I am. I did respect your wish to grieve in private, but I hope you can forgive me for starting this thread. You know your friends are going to want to express their sorrow for your loss and I just couldn't see you being reminded constantly through the other thread.

I hope you are both doing as well as can be expected. There really are no adequate words. Come join us when you can or are ready; love one another and know that we enfold you in the wide and open arms of all who know you, here at the M'Cat.

love, kat
