hold your little ones extra close

yesterday i sent out an email to the ladies that were in my prenatal class to try and set up a postnatal group for next week. most of the ladies responded saying they'd love to and we're going to get together next week.

one of the ladies, who i realized i hadn't heard from when we were all sending out our email updates after our babes were born, sent us all a note to let us know the worst news i could imagine. her little one passed away after only a few short hours of life.

i felt like i had been punched in the stomach when i read it. i held my baby for 30 straight minutes and just would not put him down.

parents of lost children have to be the strongest people i have ever encountered. and sadly, i know a few.

gone, but never ever forgotten. xoxox
