I haven’t stopped crying since Saturday. I alternate between wanting to hide in my room with the door shut and needing all of my girls with me so I know they’re safe. Things like this aren’t supposed to happen. Good parents aren’t supposed to lose kids. Kids who are healthy and happy and playing at my house one week aren’t supposed to die the next.
I know the rain falls on the just and the unjust- but it doesn’t stop me from screaming ‘no fair!’ and shaking my fist heavenward. Do me a favor? Pray for my friends? Pray for their two older children. Pray for healing both physical and spiritual? Pray for peace. If you’re not the praying type then can you throw some positive thinking this way? I’d appreciate it.
Do me one more favor while you’re at it? Hug your kids and tell them how much you love them.
I am so sorry!! What an awful thing to happen. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Oh, Amber, I am so sorry. I have been following t heir story and it breaks my heart. I will be thinking and praying for their family and for yours.

I just read the article and I am trying to hold back the tears. I can’t even imagine what they or you are going through. Such tragedies are so hard to understand. Faith truly is the only thing that can get us through times like these. Prayer will be said for the family with two beautiful angels now!!
Wow, It has been a hard week! I am so sorry! I would offer to bring choclate but I am sure you have more of it the house than I do.

That breaks my heart. I cannot even fathom the pain they are going through. That is so unfair. My prayers are with that sweet family.

I told Emily about it last night while we played Scrabble and I realized how lucky I am that my children have made it so far without any major mishaps or harm. Emily even managed to outgrow the bad tubing problem while your girls have had to have the surgeries. I am sending LOTS of positive energy that way because I don’t know how parents can deal with that grief.
Oh, my goodness. What do you even think at a time like that? I can’t imagine. So, so tragic.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I can’t even imagine what that family is going though. Something like this really puts a whole bunch of stuff into perspective. I am going upstairs to hug my kids right now. I will keep you all in my prayers. *Hugs*
Amber, I am so sorry…My heart hurts horribly after reading that for their family and you. I’m not very good at following the news, so today was the first I’ve heard. Definitely reminds me about the important things in life, and extra hugs, kisses, and snuggles tonight for my girls…Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with…
I have been following this story with complete and utter heartbreak. My prayers are with their family and with yours. I hope that you all find the peace and comfort that you need at this time.

What a horrible tragedy. I’m sorry for that family and your community.
Amber, you know this family and their beautiful little girls? I have been watching this story on the news and Tyler and I have been sick over it. Those little girls are so close to the ages of our little girls. We have been thinking about the family alot.

I don’t know that there are any words that can start any amount of positive thinking, except, perhaps, that those two beautiful girls are with their Father-in-Heaven and that He is mindful of them and their family.
I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you and that family can find peace in this unfortunate tragedy.
What an incredibly difficult thing to experience, both for the family and for your family as neighbors. Praying that God would comfort and heal and hold you all in the palm of His hands.
