sending prayers

I was doing my daily checking in of my blog dashboard.  I've done day after day for a while now.  I usually read things that inspire me, encourage me, lift me up.

But today.....................

..................... I read this this and this

Today, as I opened each post up and looked as Madison, just up from a nap, sat on my lap, I had to send her away.  I asked her to go up and check on her baby sister, because I know she loves to do that.  I just had to send her away, because I don't know how to explain to her why Mommy is crying.  Crying over a family who I have never met, but my heart breaks that they have lost their little girl.  Crying, knowing that it could be us.

It doesn't matter to me that I haven't met these people, because we are connected.  We are connected in a way that other people are not.  So my heart is broken for them, and I cry for them.  And I'll hold my babies a little tighter tonight, and be thankful for every day.
