The other day when I was in Walmart, it seemed like the whole time I was there, I was in range of a baby crying incessantly (and rather loudly). I really was not irritated by the noise. Instead, I began to think to myself with a new realization of shock (yes, even after this long, I'm still in shock at what happened to my baby), "I never even got to hear my baby cry. No sound ever came from his mouth."

No, he never cried. But oh, I have.
