So Painful

This week I'm in pain for my cousin Sidney. She's my oldest cousin on the Pickett side. Within 24 hours, she and her family experienced a miracle and tragedy. First, her oldest daughter gave birth to her first baby, a beautiful baby boy. Then her second and youngest daughter lost her baby to what seems to be SIDS. He was almost one. And all within the same 24 hours.

I love you Sid!!! My heart aches for you, Corey, Shonne, Wes, Jill and Ed. Wish I could be with you.

That's heartbreaking - I'm so sorry for their loss. Two dear friends of mine experienced something like that - one gave birth on the same day that the other's 5 month old lost his life. Emotions are so raw and tender on that day.

I am so sorry to hear that. My cousin recently lost her baby and has tried to heal through her blog. You can find the link on my blog under stephanie my cuz. Maybe down the road or even now, she can read it and get comfort.

Thanks Allison!!!! I can't imagine what it will be like in a year: celebrating one baby's first birthday and remembering the death of another. I think writing things down is very healing.
