Can lightening strike someone twice?

As I lay there with my dying son in one arm and my broken husband in the other, below the white sheet between them laid evidence of the devastation that brought us together.
If you'd like the back story to prevent asking us painful questions like "What happened?", here are the basics.
I was admitted into the hospital on Tuesday night, October 12th and put on strict bedrest. I was only 22 weeks and 2 days ... only a few weeks shy of possible infant viability. Despite best efforts, contractions and labor on Sunday morning (October 17th) brought our little boy into this world at only 23 weeks old.
If you've never had to bury your child, there are no words to convey the feelings.
If you've had to bury more than one, than you'd know that pure obliteration of human feeling exists.
Matthew Douglas Hamilton was born on October 17, 2010 with his mother's nose and his father's broad shoulders. He will always be lovingly remembered by his mother and father. Matthew joins his sister Nari and they watch over us always.
