It's been a tough week across the globe. Share your thoughts in our new 2008 Financial Crisis support group.
It is a day of conflicted emotions. I am still on a high from our weekend trip to VT and the fun we had with Linda and Lee.
However, when I turned on my computer this morning, there was an email from our friends Patty and Harry. Their youngest daughter died last night. She was 12 or 13 and just closed her eyes and died, sitting on the couch right between Patty and their oldest daughter. I can't begin to wrap my brain around this. A year ago this past July, their next to oldest daughter, Sheila, died on an exploration of caves in TX with her research team. She died of fumes from bat droppings. It seems her breathing mask was not working properly.
Alex was adopted and was severly mentally challenged, had autism and a host of other physical and mental issues. But thanks to the patiece and love from them and their family, Alex managed to live a relatively (?) normal life. If it hadn't been for them, this child of God would have been placed in an institution.
I can't even begin to imagine the sorrow and grief they are all feeling. They've gone from six children to four in a matter of a little over a year. What is God thinking?
I am so sad and shocked.

Marti darling, I am so sorry to hear of your grief and the sadness it is causing your and your friends. I recognize the special grief attached to loosing a child since not only my parents have gone through that but also my dear friend Amy who was here cleaning my fan last week (she miscarried a Bailey when she was mearly 5 months pregnant with her and the sadness just lingers). I hope you all can find in your hearts to trust that God had a very special plan for these special souls. We are not privy to the reasoning behind such loss, but please know that I am sending positive thoughts and prayers to both you and your friends Patty and Harry. Sometimes I feel so small when I think of the entirety of it all... Please take care and I send you all love and peace... xoxoxo Cj

Thank you Cj. Your friendship means a lot. " Sometimes I feel so small when I think of the entirety of it all." Me too! I want my life to stay small and rolled into a neat little package but it just doesn't happen. I seem to be surrounded by drama that I don't understand.
How are your legs?
