Sad news

One of my best friends called me today. Karen was just visiting us last weekend with her boyfriend, soon to be fiance, and everything was all happy. Today, she called to tell me that her soon to be 2 year old grandson passed away. This news was more breathtaking than any I've ever heard. While she was at work on Thursday, her daughter had laid him down for a nap, then took a nap herself. He crawled out of his crib and drowned in the pool. My heart is heavy with sadness. Godspeed Shane. Rest in peace.

    Oh, Suz. {{Hugs}} for your friend and for her daughter who is probably going to suffer some guilt beyond anything we can imagine. You are a good friend to go on this trip to comfort them. I just hope that the state does not get involved with the CPS crap. Families suffer enough and it's a freak accident and they will be paying for it the rest of their lives. I just hope they can find some peace, and you, too.

    xoxo,
    Aimes
