we found out that a friend's baby passed away yesterday morning. she was 7 weeks old.
the friend is Rachel's pampered chef distributor/mentor, Deb. we have only known her since may. when we met her she was 7 & 1/2 months pregnant. she was at our home twice just prior to having her little girl. (this is their 4th child) i met her last week, rachel held her several times, and she was a sweetheart.
we are saddened by their loss. i was able to send an email to Deb this morning expressing our sorrow to her. she replied with this...
Thank you. I am without words too. Words are not strong enough to express my sorrow. You met her. Saw her sweet features and a face that showered us with love. Its over powering right now. Thanks for your condolences. I am at a loss and don't know how to process this loss. For now I just sit with family and friends around me. Its all I can do.
we have so much to be grateful for...the knowledge that families can be together forever is the greatest knowledge that we have; how to get us there is the other greatest knowledge we have, along with who provided the way.
now may not be the time to share this knowledge with them, but it will be shared. how could i not? they are in desperate need of this wonderful knowledge.
so true. that's all i could think of yesterday as i processed everything. how their family can see little sydney again. i hope she understands the importance of that when we talk to her about it. i'll find the right time.
