I\u2019m getting married today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"435\" data-end=\"537\">I could hear music and laughter in the background, the sound of a celebration I was no longer part of.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"605\">I looked down at my baby\u2019s tiny hand curled into my hospital gown.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"633\">\u201cCongratulations,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"678\">He scoffed. \u201cStill the same.
