Prayers for a tragedy

I sit here a little shell shocked.  My head hurts.  I can't sleep.

Wednesday night, I frustratedly put Logan back to bed, after he pooped in his diaper just 10 minute after being put in bed.  All 3 kids got up, because they "had" to go potty....again.  45 minutes later, finally they were all in bed. 

I sat down to check my e-mail & get caught up with the social networking world.


And I discovered tragedy.


A past co-worker & friend of mine tragically lost her daughter Wednesday morning.  Heaven gained another angel.

My heart aches for them, I am just shocked.  We battled years of infertility together.  We both had preemies.  She after a whirlwind day at work & an emergency c-section.  She said "I waited so long for her, I waited, and now she is gone."  I'm sick.  I simply can not put words to how I feel.  I simply can not imagine, I don't possess the strength to imagine.  I hurt, I feel guilty.  I hurt for her, my heart breaks for her.  Devistating.

Isabelle was 17 months.   And her mama said she was starting to get curls, just like her!

Please shower their family with your thoughts, love & prayers.  Please heal their broken hearts.  Please wrap your loving arms around them & comfort them as they walk this journey.  My thoughts & prayers are with you Anne.

She asks that you all remember to hug & kiss you kids today & everyday. 
I know I will.
Last night I slept on the floor in a sleeping bag in my kids' room.  And you'll probably find me there again tonight. 

I just can't believe it.  I just can't.
