How do you get back up, after losing a child?
How do you re-enter life?
I have lost before, and it was crushing. It has lingered and stayed with me.
But this?*
{She is gone from this world, now.
Her parents but her to bed last night, singing lullabies and giving kisses they knew would be their last.}
I cannot comprehend.
I am sobbing for that family.
Heartbroken.
For her parents.
For a life cut so short.
For my own fears and worst nightmares, that came true for someone else.
How will they survive this?
I don't think I could.
Peace and Joy for you, Sweet Girl. I hope that is what you have found.
Love and Comfort and Strength, to all who knew her, loved her. I hope that is what you have.
My thoughts, my love--with you all.
*I got to know Maddie's story through a good friend of mine. She is good friends with the parents. I wish I could hug her AND them today.

Oh God... I can't imagine... She was playing and smiling. How could they have known? Beautiful angel... I will keep them all in my thoughts.
My heart is breaking for them. Thank you for sharing.
