Heartache

This is a second part to yesterdays blog. The little boy I was talking about passed away. It breaks my heart. I do not personally know these people, and I can not even begin to imagine what they must be going through. But my heart aches for them. I could not imagine there would be any pain greater than losing a child. Especially a child whose life really just began.
This family is amazing, doing all the could to make sure they could donate as many organs as possible so other children would have a chance at life. They are sharing everything with complete strangers and really being 100% open and honest about what they are going through. It amazes me how children really do bring everyone together. I mean think about it...when you see someone on facebook had a baby you always say congrats, even if it is someone you haven't talked to in 10 years, or hardly ever talked to.When you hear about someone having a sick kid you automatically tell them you hope their child feels better. And when you hear something as sad as this your heart automatically feels pain for that family.
It is amazing to me that something as small as a infant or child can really bring people together. They are such a joy *most days:)* and really have a ability to make even the worst of days better by one little smile, hug, kiss etc.. I can honestly say the best 3 days of my life were when my kids were born. To know that Rob and I made something so perfect. To know that we were given the chance to raise these kids and hopefully shape them into respectable adults. It is a gift. And it is not FAIR to have that gift taken from you.
Please keep this family in you hearts and prayers. They have suffered a tragic loss yet they are strong enough and amazing enough to think of others during this time. I truly think they are a roll model for parents all over.
