My True Story #No60

"Anyone out of the 150+ guests could’ve made the world of difference to me that night just by asking if I was okay. I wasn’t..." - Allie

"There’s a few pictures I could tell you a backstory on but I’ve chosen this one in particular because it’s something that many people including my friends and family may not know.

In this picture I am at a work night out with an open bar and amazing food. However, I’m not eating or drinking because I am having a miscarriage.

I didn’t know I was pregnant or plan to be but it was happening in this picture and for the next couple of days after.

I stuck on a smile and took pictures with everyone, all while hoping that I wouldn’t bleed on my dress and ruin everyone’s night.

This picture still upsets me and reminds me of what was happening for those few days.

Be nice, be kind and be genuinely concerned. Anyone out of the 150+ guests could’ve made the world of difference to me that night just by asking if I was okay. I wasn’t..." - Allie
