For Tuesday

Go Blog Yourself is a blog I ran across a month or so ago through SITS. This blog tells the story of Jessica, Charley, and their beautiful children: Spencer, Axel, and two-year-old twins Piper and Tuesday. Just a few short months ago, Tuesday was diagnosed with cancer. I went to the blog last night and saw that the doctors had sent her home to be with her family. This morning, I see that she has passed away.

I did not know this family, but my heart still breaks for them. I cannot imagine how heavy their hearts are. No one can unless they have experienced it themselves. I know that it is human nature to question these kinds of things. Why? Why did a precious 2 year old have to suffer with this horrible disease? Why did she have to hurt? Why did she have to go "home" so early? Those are questions we can't answer, but I know that GOD knows why. Will her family ever know? Maybe. Maybe not.

If you think you can, go over to Jessica and Charley's blog and read about sweet Tuesday. Smile at the darling pictures. Pray for them.

Hug the people you love and tell them you love them.

Oh Gosh, how sad ....
I feel so sorry for this family, it's just so unfair.
I know that God knows best but it breaks my heart so bad to see poor sweet innocent children have to go through these horrible diseases.

Not another one...Just breaks my heart everytime. And makes me realize that much more how lucky we are to still have our son with us.

I'll go visit their site now.

My heart has been so heavy today just thinking about this family. I cannot seem to get them off my mind.

I re-read Jessica's post from yesterday, and the tears would not stop.

Bless their hearts. I just can't imagine, and pray I never have to know, the loss of a child.

Trina, thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to Tribute Tuesday. Isn't it amazing how such a little life can touch so many people. Here we don't even know each other, but Tuesday brought us together. I look forward to meeting you through your blog entries. Thanks for following. I'm stalking you too. :) BTW, my son amazes me everyday.
