Sadness

A friend at the school my kids attend lost her child this weekend in a tragic accident. Her precious baby girl. This was not a close friend of mine, but someone I chatted with on occasion, and a baby I had held and cooed over and played with. I have such vivid memories of seeing the baby for the first time. Her mama was holding her in a sling, and I, being the nosy one I am, asked to have her unwrapped. I wanted to see her. All of her. And she had the biggest feet I had ever seen on a baby. I played with those feet and commented on their size to her mama. She was precious. And now she's gone. After far too little time on this earth. When I wake up in the morning, or even the middle of the night, that baby is the first thing that pops into my head. Our school community is grieving deeply the loss of this child.

If you pray, pray for peace for this family, please. If you don't pray, just keep them close to your heart.
