It really sucks sometimes.
Some of our dear friends (also my BEST friends sister and her husband) lost their little boy Monday. He was ONLY 20 months old. HOW is that possible? He was playing in the yard with his caretakers and was hit by a falling tree branch and was killed. He suffered brain damage, and after being on life support it was determined that there was zero brain activity. It's times like these that I KNOW I need to have FAITH in God's plan, but it is REALLY hard. I KNOW that God has a special reason for taking that precious boy from us SO SO young. But, WHY? I can't comprehend it right now. I will be attending a visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow for a baby. How do you do that? How do these parents go on? How do the caretakers go on? The only positive that I can come up with right now is the parents chose to do organ donation, so several other children will have longer, better lives because of Ashley's death. I know I just need to trust in God, it just hurts my heart so much to try and understand how this could happen. I guess that's the point, you can't understand everything.
I continue to pray that the families will feel the amazing amount of love and support that our community has shown throughout this, I pray that they feel God's love and can find peace one day in this tragic event.
This is going to be a tough few days...

Virginia is a sorority sister of mine ... I can't even imagine what they are going through at this moment. My heart broke for them.
