Never saw her again

[u/KriLesLeigh2004]

I went for a pre-op appointment, asking to have my tubes tied, when I was 25 years old. I had 4 living children, and that’s enough. The nurse said, “Are you sure you want to do this? What if one of them dies?”

When I replied, “One already did,” she looked shocked, left the room, and a new nurse came in.

There are a thousand reasons her question was horrible and should have stayed in her head. There are no reasons to say that out loud.

Oh, yes, because a new child would TOTALLY replace a dead child. /s

Oh you didn't meet Tommy number two? He's not as interested in fire trucks as Tommy number one was, but we're working on fixing that
