So as I drove home last night I received a call from a friend who informed me of her friends in Travelers Rest that just lost their 22 month year old son that morning. Everything was fine the previous day, no sickness, no health problems that they were aware of, played fine at daycare that day. They brought him home to a normal same routine night, put him to sleep and he never woke up. Twenty-two months old and he is gone, their only child. We have to think man that would be the most horrible thing to have to go through and we feel such deep pain for this couple. Their worlds have been shattered and they probably are trying to figure out how to put one foot in front of another. People like that, good people, who have both parents participating full time, and now they have nothing. BUT, they still have each other and however long he was in this world, was God's plan, and they have to be thankful for getting to be with him that long. God knows the plans of our life and knows from the moment we are here, just how long we will actually be here on earth. Sometimes when we are in the midst of why am I going through all of this by myself, you need to step back and look at your life and the gifts that God places in front of you every day. God loved you enough that he knew you would make an excellent parent, even by yourself. People take others for granted all the time, but remember you are the hero that stepped up to the plate, the dirt you leave behind as you round home plate is a mere shadow of the dust you left behind. Continue to keep your head up, and know that it does get easier, and you are the best gift you could ever give your child.
God Bless,
