The Things We Have To Do

 I just ordered flowers for the funeral of an 8 month old girl.  A funeral that I can’t go to because it’s 10 hours away.  A baby I never met because I lost touch with a (once) very close friend.

This girl died while she was napping.  No signs of anything wrong at all.  At 8 months old.

And looking at Lily makes me cry because what if it happens to her?

oh my god. That is my worst nightmare. Logan is 8 months old… I don’t know what I would do or how I would live if one of my kids died. I am so so sorry for your friend 🙁

I think this is every mothers worst nightmare. You never want anything to happen to your child and do everything right. Then in the blink of an eye, it’s gone without any warning. Just enjoy the moments with her and try not to stress out about what might happen.

RYN: I would -love- to get Matt one of those (did some Googling, they look AWESOME) but sadly Air Miles only offers Apple products and there’s no way we can spend $200 on well anything for god knows how long, lol.
