In the last three months, three of my friends have lost one of their children. They weren't school kids, no they had been around long enough to have kids of their own, long enough for their mothers to form wonderful lasting relationships with. They knew each other so well and then....
Catherine and I were kids together, next door neighbors, hide and go seek friends. We would have a fight maybe once a year and the next day right back best friends. We grew up and she had three hell raising little boys when one day her house caught on fire. Then there was one. Afterwhile a little girl joined her household with wild flashing green eyes that freaked everybody out, and my son got to be friends with her, thought she was beautiful. She died last month from the causes of a terrible car accident years ago. Another of Catherine's children was dead. How do you handle that?
Then there was Donna whom I worked with, had lunch every day with for 18 years and she lost a grown daughter who left behind a couple kids. And last night I talked to my friend Elaine, my strip dancing partner friend , my fun singing back up friend. She brought into this world one that was fine, and one with a fragile heart. She too left behind children and another mourning mother.
What are we to do? It's part of life, it's the way things go, God giveth and God taketh away? You lost a child..............I can't even imagine.
