I just found out that my friend’s baby died. She was not even two years old and she stopped breathing (she had some other medical issues but, still, it was completely unexpected). They tried CPR and spent an hour working on her at the hospital but she died anyway. My friend has a son the same age as Pumpkinhead and a newborn and I cannot even imagine how grief-stricken and horrified she must be right now. Those of us who know her are shocked and saddened for her. It just makes me want to run home to Pumpkinhead and cuddle him and never let go although I realize that ultimately there is nothing we can do to prevent these types of senseless things from happening. I’d like to believe that God has a plan or a reason, but I’m not sure how I would feel if it was my own child dying or being taken away. I’d probably feel like LagLiv — ready for a break from the world. I hate that these mothers have to suffer so much and just wish that these sorts of injustices would stop happening to good, kind people (or any people, for that matter!) If you are saying prayers tonight, please pray for my friend, Erin, and her sweet angel daughter, Ramona.
