Some time ago, I posted this entry about sweet baby James' and his family. His mom and I "met" on facebook, in a group devoted to Septo-Optic Dysplasia. Sweet baby James' has fought a long and courageous battle, and this Saturday, he will be taken off life support.

It's taken me over fifteen minutes to write out those three sentences.

To say...my heart is broken for his family? That could quite possibly be the understatement of eternity. Nichole (his mom) has been such a beacon of love and strength--and the bond of their family...it leaves me breathless. It's *that* beautiful. I really can't even adequately describe it.

To say...I can't imagine their pain? That, too, could quite possibly be the understatement of eternity. I honestly can't even begin to wrap my mind around such an immense loss.

I just went around the house, blowing kisses here and there and everywhere at my three sleeping sweethearts. Hug all those you love tonight. I wish I could hug all of you.
