26/365 sadness

It is with ultimate sadness I ask for
your thoughts and/or prayers for
yet another family who has suffered
an unbearable, unthinkable loss.

My friend Starr's best friend Kim,
lost her 7 month old son yesterday morning
to unknown causes at this time.
(early speculation is SIDS, suffocation in his crib or complications from croup/cold).

I am struggling with all the overwhelming sadness
these days

the ongoing devastation in Haiti
the death of baby Gavin (from Hawaii) a few weeks ago
and now the loss of baby Hudson

innocent children's life's being cut short so quickly

at times the society we live in seems very unfair
and without reason.

I know there are good things
in this world happening every minute of every day

I understand this, in my head

it is my heart that is struggling.

So once again , in a very short time span,
I will pause and remember
be thankful for my family and friends
and the love and peace I have today

search for the goodness
and hold onto it tight

as well, I will keep Starr, Kim and their hurting families that I do know
& also those families who I do not know
in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

beautifully written Dee. There is no worse loss than that of a child, especially a baby.
