My heart is heavy today, and I am saddened. My young cousin Sarah is experiencing what no parent should have to go through. Her little boy Timothy, only 3 and half months old has passed away from SIDS. What is SIDS? Why to her? Why does this happen at all?
When I worked at the Post Office, one of my daily stops was the Children's Hospital in Little Rock. I used to enjoy stopping because there was a super cute little girl close to the door with this amazing smile, and the cafeteria was fab. One day I came through and saw that all of her things were cleared out. In a very upbeat manner I asked the nurse, "Did she get to go home?" The nurse said with a sympathetic smile, "You could say that." But in reality, she had not gone home. At least not to her parents and family who loved her so. She had passed away. I went out to my truck and just cried. Later that day I asked the guys I worked with if one of the could switch that stop with me. My heart just couldn't take going back there again.
I just don't understand the reason for the little ones to pass so early. This is going to sound so bad, but there are worse people out there who deserve so awful things, but my cousin is so young, how is she supposed to understand this? How is this not supposed to weigh on her forever? I just cannot even imagine.
If you read this, please keep her in your heart, if only for a little while. Thank you
