I got a call at work yesterday from Chris with some very sad news. A sweet girl, Angela, that works for him has a 3 month old little boy, Daxton. Yesterday morning Angela dropped off Daxton with her mother and went to work. After putting Daxton down for his morning nap his grandmother went to wake him and found him unconscious. They rushed him to the hospital and Chris rushed Angela there as well but they were unable to revive him.
My heart is truly breaking for this family. Being a new mom myself, I can't even imagine this. I can't wrap my mind around it. I feel speechless. Yet here I am blogging. I guess I'm hoping that by getting it out I will find some peace for this family. I've been praying all day for them but can't seem to push it to the back of my mind. I hurt so bad for her. I can't even imagine.
There are days when we gripe (on facebook or whatever) about having to get up at night with the babies or when they won't stop crying or when they're fussy, or whatever. But I know for sure Angela would trade anything in the world right now to be worried about those "little" things.
I don't know how to get over this. It's still so fresh. I have so many questions (mainly for my own concerns for my little one) that will never be answered.
All I can say is hug your little ones close tonite and be grateful for all the little worries we have. It's unfathomable how quickly it can all be taken away from us....
That's horrific, Elizabeth. I have no words, just sadness.
