Sunday afternoon my own little one was napping and the Irishman took our three-year-old mermaid to the pool. I had the house to myself and I checked Facebook before taking a nap. Several of my friends had "liked" a video made to honor the little boy who died. I had tears streaming down my face as I watched it.
One of the other interns at the school I did my student teaching at lost a daughter to cancer a few years ago. It is heartbreaking. I cannot even imagine the pain.
I looked at the photos of first steps, Halloweens, Christmases, and memories that will be cherished forever. I thought of my own two little ones and thought of how lost I would be without them.
Some friends of mine are collecting money to help this family. They are trying to respect the privacy of the family, but I number of us have contributed. I am going to donate all money made in my TpT store between now and Thursday to this cause.
Be sure to hug your loved ones extra tight tonight. Life is precious!
