So Much Sadness

This week has been really tough. Last Monday morning I got a text from my former secretary letting me know that the son of one of my fellow attorneys was released from jail and froze to death over the weekend. Her son meant everything to her, I can only imagine what she is going through.

Then later in the week I learned from facebook that a member of one of my online support groups who lost her ten year old son (who had Hydranencephaly) in October also lost her husband while they were on vacation. I can't even fathom what I would do if I lost my child and then less than 4 months later lost my husband. She has 3 other children as well. My heart just aches for her.

And on Sunday, Georgia's little friend Drew, who we met this summer, passed away. Its just too much loss. Having a special needs child you meet families with beautiful children and sometimes they just can't fight any more and it breaks your heart every time. It also makes you worry, is it going to be my family one of these days? It makes me hold Georgia a little closer.
