No jokes today. Just as my week started to get better, I received the devastating news that one of the babies I work with passed away unexpectedly. He was 2 yr old. He was such a precious little boy and he touched everyone's heart that knew him. I will miss him so much. He is a blond-haired, blue eyed angel. I went to the funeral home this morning with my friend and fellow therapist Cathlin. I was so scared to go, I was shaking when I got there. Then when I walked in and saw him, I just couldn't hold back the tears. I didn't expect that the stress of being there would wipe me out today. I guess b/c I don't have an immune system, stress is harder on me than usual. I feel about as bad as I do on chemo day.
I have devoted my life to working with special needs kids. I just hope that when I die someday, whether it's cancer or not, I pray that my job in Heaven is to rock all the lost babies until their parents come Home to join them.
Please say a prayer for Spencer's family, but also for all the parents out there who have lost a child.
Thanks for listening.
Love,
Michele

I have no words. Only prayers.
I think I saw his obituary in the paper with his picture. He was beautiful. I wondered what had happened.

HI MICHELE,
MY SISTER WORKS WITH THAT LITTLE BOYS AUNT AND THEY THINKS HE MIGHT HAVE PASSED AWAY FROM SIDS. MY CO-WORKER LOST HER 10 WEEK OLD SON TO SIDS 3 YEARS AGO THIS JANUARY 4TH, AND EVERY TIME I SEE THESE PRECIOUS BABIES THAT DIE, I JUST RELIVE THAT DAY ALL OVER AGAIN. YOU ARE CERTAINLY IN MY PRAYERS, THOSE ARE THE TIMES YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO SAY "WHY GOD, WHY!" JENNY MY CO-WORKER CLINGS TO A VERSE IN THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK OF JOHN THAT SAYS, "RIGHT NOW YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, BUT ONE DAY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND." I KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE FAITH AND KNOW THAT IS TRUE.
TAKE CARE,
AMY HAERTLING
