On Friday a friend of mine delivered her stillborn daughter. I believe the little girl was due in January. We were to have the shower yesterday. Her name was Isabella. Her mommy and daddy loved her very much, though they had yet to meet her. She was wanted. She brought joy though her eyes never saw the light of day.
I was looking forward to meeting her. I know everyone was. Her parents are profoundly good and faithful people.
Today was the funeral. I was honored to be one of the few invited to attend.
The sadness of missing this little girl and sympathizing with her heartbroken parents also drives home the sadness the families of those lost at Sandy Hook must be feeling.
There is a lot of sadness in the world.
Photos, thoughts, and miscellaneous brain matter.
