I've sat down and tried writing a number of times the last few days.
I still haven't found the words I'm looking for. But I can't write about anything else until I write about this...
Our dear friends Sissy and Bud lost their precious baby girl this past weekend.
She was over five months old, a true fighter and a true miracle.
It’s too complicated for me to even begin to describe her condition. To be vague, she had a dysfunctional lymphatic system. But not a single other case exists like hers in this country.
I know it's been a painful past five months for sweet baby girl and her family. But I know they experienced joy and love together as well. And although it was much too short, she lived a life.
Here come the tears again...
Bud and Sissy will always have their sweet baby girl in the memories.

that's all I can say today

THAT IS NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING TO HEAR WHEN I THOUGHT THIS PAST WEEKEND "GEE I WONDER WHAT EVER HAPPENED..." OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR MOST PRECIOUS GIFT AND SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED, I KNOW BUD AND SISSY WILL ALWAYS KNOW THAT IS TRUE. I CRY FOR THEM AND MY HEART ACHES FOR THEM. I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR SWEET BABY GIRLS FAMILY.

My dear, sweet, Jackie, I am still crying about their loss. I did post about it, and if you think I should pull it, please let me know.

I have been crying all day about this loss, I WISH with all my heart that there was an Internet search that could make this go away and bring her back.

As always, whether you realize it or not, I AM hear for you, and if you need me, please call. I love you and your whole family with all my heart and am so sad that this story did not end up with a happy ending.

Honestly? Not that it matters, but I'm mad as hell, it's just not right. :(

Keeping this family in my prayers. Parents should not bury their children... period!

Sounds like their little girl was a fighter! I'm sorry for your pain with this loss as well!

So sad! I remember when you posted that first picture of the baby's momma kissing her.
Heartbreaking. I am so sorry.
