Irony

An acquaintance of an acquaintance I know through work had been trying to have a child for a very long time, but sadly it never worked out for him and his wife. So he decided to adopt. During the adoption procedure a miracle happened and his wife became pregnant. They decided to adopt the child anyway, feeling up to raising two children together. The child was born and healthy, but they had to leave it in the care of their parents as they had to pick up their adopted child from its homeland; Haiti. Can you feel the conclusion coming? Yes, they both died on Hiati as the earthquake hit. So not only did they not manage to adopt an orphan and become the kid’s parents, their own child is now an orphan as well. How bloody, bloody ironic and sad.
