Writing a book

I have decided to write a book about my experience losing Jesse and Waylon. I have become wonderful friends with Andrea and Karen, two moms that lost their twins to twin to twin transfusion syndrome also. The book will be emails between the three of us as well as posts that we posted on the ttts message board. I orginally wanted to do it for the three of us just for us to remember and see what we have all gone through in the last year. But, as I am going through the posts and emails I realize just how much that it might help new parents going through the same situation. I have an uncle in the publishing business so I am hoping that he will be able to help me. I just hope that I can let other parents know that they are not alone in what they are experiencing. All of the books I found for grief and losing a child were so "this is what you will feel" and not personal experiences.

Kendra - I think it is wonderful that you have found someone to share your thoughts with and that you are willing to share them with others. An Indianapolis bank teller who was 5 months pregnant with twins was shot in the stomach by a bank robber. She lost the babies. I have thought of you often over the last few weeks as we have seen media updates for this poor woman and her husband. I know that your thoughts will comfort many!
