This week, my sister's friend's 9 month old died of bacterial meningitis. The death of this little girl has hit me in a way I wasn't prepared for. I have worked very hard to control my anxiety and work through it so it doesn't consume me. But knowing there is a mom and dad grieving the death of their baby, has sent me in a tailspin. I'm trying to make sense of it, but I don't think I'm going to be able to.
This loss has changed me in another way. I am a different parent than I was last week. Piper fussing? Give her more attention. Isaac spilled on the floor? Calmly clean it up. And there are a lot more hugs, kisses and "I love yous" and our house.
Angel Ellie, I'm so sorry that you're not with your parents on Earth. But you're in heaven, watching over them. Please give them strength to help them through this.
