Today is sad and beautiful...

...let me explain.

I found to today (Thursday ) that on Sunday one of my lovely cousins and her beautiful family lost one of there children. As I read the events leading up to the loss I started crying...for two reasons...

1. The sadness they had to go through knowing what was going to happen...
2. The beautiful way they are handling it. The courage and love of their family combined with their faith...are going to be the pillars of strength that will help them get through this tough time.

I feel bad that I haven't stayed in better touch with them over the past few years...I'm about as good at that as blogging...but I want them to know I'm giving them all the love and prayers I can through the universe and beyond, in hopes that it gives them the support they need. I also want to tell them I'm sorry this happened to them and to hold on to each other and the short memories of the time they had to give little Mickey the love, that I'm willing to bet, he knew he already had.

If you read this please offer prayers of peace and love to them and
