It's just not fair!

My heart is aching and I'm full of tears thinking about 2 little boys this morning!

It doesn't make any sense that a Mom can say goodbye to her 2 year old son and husband on the very same day. 1 life taken much too soon and a life long friend, soul mate, true love and provider to their family...gone just like that without any warning or goodbye. No last touch. No smiles. No hugs or kisses. No whispered words or laughter from the child. This really bothers me and saddens me to even think about. I keep thinking about the mother and her 2 remaining children. How are they doing? Do they understand their baby brother and daddy are not coming back? The mom has to be an emotional mess. Makes me sick to even imagine my life ripped apart and 2 very special people taken away immediately from a fatal car accident. I used to work with this mom and feel the urge to reach out to her now. We still work at the same company but I am at a different location now and lost touch after having my own child and my Dept was cut back in 08.

Some of you may remember a little boy named Johnnie who is the same age as my Sam.
Johnnie also has EE (Eosinophillic esophagitis). Unfortunately Johnnie's little body has not responded to any treatments and he continues to deteriorate. He now has the best care in Cincinnati but there has to be some undiagnosed condition that continues to cause him distress. His mom just posted an update on Facebook and I'm sitting here in tears. Why does this almost 4 year old boy have to suffer so much? Why must any child suffer, be poked and pried and undergo too many biopsies, be put under anesthesia time and time again? It's not fair! There has to be a reason and a better outcome for this child, for every child that suffers and cannot live a happy and healthy life like a normal 4 year old should.

Hug your children. Embrace them. Love them and care for them as if you never know when things may change. And now I will put down this iPad to spend time with my sweet love who is craving my attention. For me, he is priceless, my love and joy!
