A Drawing Sent My Babies to Their Graves
3.8k Views · Ongoing · Joy Brown
I've been married to my husband Jake for three years. In that time, I've been pregnant twice.
But each time, I lost the baby.
What took my children wasn't a medical condition, but a painting.
A black bird, painted by Jake's ten-year-old blind brother, Billy.
My in-laws claimed he had the gift—a psychic born with sight beyond sight. And the black bird was an omen. It marked my baby as cursed, a threat to the family.
To save my second child, I got the best amniocentesis report money could buy, proving the baby had no genetic defects.
It happened again anyway.
At three in the morning, I woke to the agony of another miscarriage and stumbled to the studio door.
That's when I found out the truth.
