Unexpected

The thing that frustrates me about blogging is that some of the biggest things in my life I can't blog about. Either it's just entirely too personal or it's not my story to share. Sometimes I write posts and don't publish them since this is a journal for me. My heart has been aching since I found out one of my friends, Brittany, that I have known since high school lost her one year old son on Monday. Since she posted this on her blog I feel okay to share her story. He was found in his crib with the blinds cord wrapped around his neck. He was given CPR and then taken to the hospital where they worked on him for 45 minutes. I remember going to the hospital when he was born. He had so much beautiful hair. I have a strong testimony and I know my friend does too but to have a child so young pass away unexpectedly is still so hard. I can't even begin to try to think I know what she is going through. She is so strong. So strong. I don't think I would be strong enough. I can't think of a trial that is much harder than that. It just makes me want to squeeze my boys and cherish every smile and temper tantrum they have. You just never know when your loved ones will be taken away.
