sadness
When I reached into my daughter's bookbag yesterday among the construction paper Christmas trees and other Christmas crafts was a note on school letterhead. It was to inform us that on Saturday the mother of one of the girls in my daughter's first grade class had lost a short battle with cancer. I can't stop thinking about this poor girl, left with no mommy. She is an only child so there is only her and her father now. I can't stop crying and thinking about what she must be going through. Sometimes life is so unfair...Her name is Samantha, please keep her in your prayers...

Bless her. And so close to a holiday, that makes it even worse, if it can be worse than losing a parent at this age.
Prayers going up for Samantha tonight and you as well.
That is, indeed, very sad news. I will keep that girl in my prayers. It is difficult for all people to lose a parent, but especially children, I think. Here's praying that she gets the nourishment, compassion, and if necessary, counseling she needs in order to grow and learn instead of wither and fade.
I hope you are feeling better, especially as we are about to celebrate the wonder and love of Christmas. Peace.
