So, here I am. I am 37 years old. I am a volunteer just like you. I have two kids. I lost a baby in spring. I will have a fourth kid, hopefully early 2006. I am losing my job this week. And I am glad to be participating to Wikipedia (even if sometimes, it is a burden...). It is a good life overall :-)

You have my deepest sympathies re losing your baby. My wife and I lost our first child - she would have been 12 next week, and I have been thinking often about here this past week since we were able to go back to where she is buried for a visit (we live in a different state now about 1800 miles away), and then I came across your note. Although we now have 4 living children, I sometimes feel the loss acutely, but I have hope for the future as I am sure you do also. I am sure you have a great support group that helped you through it all; feel free to drop me a line if you ever need to talk. I offer because sometimes people just don't understand that months/years later you may just need to rehash stuff again. I also wanted to thank you for your dedicated service and leadership on the wikipedia - especially considering the totality of the circumstances you describe above. Jim
