Amazing Story ....
| Thu, 06-10-2004 - 2:55pm |
This is a 2-part story from the Boston Globe about the tragedy and aftermath of a family losing their youngest member - a 4-year-old daughter - in a terrible accident. I wanted to share it with you not only for how beautifully it's written, but to share this little girl's spirit, the deep grief of her family, and also how her family is picking up the pieces of their lives, haltingly, but surely. I hope you can access both parts. Have a big box of tissue nearby.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

Though I'm a woman with a growing faith, the loss of a child is unfathomable. Like the writer said, chronologically it's just totally backwards. I have no idea how I'd react, carry on, or if my faith is even strong enough. I pray that first of all, God would spare our family from this kind of tragedy, that He has a plan for Allison's life that goes beyond her childhood; second, that if such should occur, that He would somehow sustain me, somehow keep my face towards Him. I don't even want to think about it.
