Yesterday I heard some sad news about the family of someone I know online. His four-year-old grandaughter was killed when a television set fell on her. One of those accidents that you never think would happen to you or anyone you know. One of those accidents that change your whole life in a moment of time.
The tragedy reminded me of the day a few years ago when my two-year-old great-grandaughter slipped out of the house and somehow found her way to the family pool. Another moment in time that changed many people’s lives.
We didn’t think we could ever get through it, as I’m sure the man I mentioned is feeling now. But we did. We even learned to love again as God sent more beautiful babies to heal our hearts. But we will never forget our Sara, nor could any other child fully take her place. Her memory lives on in every area of our lives.
When we hear of these tragic moments, let it be a reminder. Not to be afraid of what the future may hold. But to grab all the memories you can from the present. To love while you can, hold while you can, spend time while you can. Then, should that moment come that changes your life, you can be thankful for those times you had.
I’m sorry to hear about your friends little grandaughter :O( Its very sad when things like that happen ! The loss of your granddaughter too is very sad . My Heart is with you and the family God Bless you Both xoxoxoxoxox
