A Sad Day!

As some of you may know I belong to an online board at www.babycenter.com. I have been somewhat following a story about a baby girl named Allie. (I say somewhat because I haven't read all of the posts about her because it is just too painful to read). Anyway, I woke up this morning and checked babycenter for an update on Allie. The update confirmed my fears. She passed on last night. This news has had me down all day! I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. This poor little baby was born just 9 short months ago and spent about half of her short life in a hospital, undergoing chemotherapy, being in pain, etc. My heart truly goes out to this family. In one of her posts, Jenny, Allie's mother, stated that last mother's day (2003) she found out that she was expecting Allie. This mother's day she had just found out the terrible news that her precious little baby had cancer!! If you are interested in this story, their website is www.scotthousehold.com. Just be prepared to have your heart torn in two as you read about her. It's like a train wreck though, you don't want to see, but you just can't look away. I so badly want to do something in little Allie's memory. I didn't know her personally, but I feel like I did from just reading about her. Please, please pray for the Scott family in dealing with this. On top of going through all of this, Jenny and Andrew are expecting another baby. I don't know exactly when this baby is due, like I said, I haven't read everything, but I've read enough to know this information. I don't understand why the good Lord lets these things happen. I know he has an ultimate plan that we as mere humans cannot fathom it all, and we just have to trust Him. (I know this is easier said than done!) It makes me appreciative of my family and their good health. Please, if you have children, love them a little extra today!!!
