The daughter of our friend had a little girl 6 months ago. The mom is in the army and had just returned to Iraq.
Today, the baby passed on in her crib.
It's just so horrible. It really makes all those "big problems" seem like nothing.
Please keep this family in your thoughts, and please be grateful for what you have ... I know most of you are.

What a tragedy. This family is in my prayers.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 08:10 pm:

Oh Ame, that is terrible.. They are all in my prayers.. that poor dad, the mom being gone, the whole situation......

By Mlee on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 08:27 pm:

Will the mother be allowed to come home from Iraq? Temporarily or premanently?
I can't imagine what they are all going through.

By Amecmom on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 - 07:09 pm:

Mom and Dad are now in Germany, but as of two days ago had not seen each other. They will both be sent back to the States to finish out their Tour of duty.
Thanks everyone. They are really broken up about this. SIDS is something you "hear" about happening, but rarely do you know someone who has had this tragedy.

I can't imagine losing a child, much less not having my husband there for me. How tragic. The family will definitely be in my prayers.

By Dana on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 - 09:51 pm:

That is just the most horrible news I've heard in a long time. Those poor parents.

By Reds9298 on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 - 10:14 pm:

That is absolutely horrible! I can't begin to imagine what these parents are going through. They will be in my prayers.

By Mlee on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 - 12:02 am:

Thank goodness they can both finish their tours stateside.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 - 07:22 pm:

Prayers for safe travels.. They were both away when this happened??
