Could Not Imagine

On Sunday I had to go in to work at the Children's hospital here. After the appt. was done and on my way to the car, I saw some people gathered around a van. What made me curious were two women standing away from the main group...huddled together and crying. After I stopped and watched some more, I noticed a woman in a wheelchair holding a child. My heart sank suddenly then because I realized that the child had already passed. The group of people were actually handing the child over to the morgue.

Just watching them made me feel tears well up. I could not imagine how it would be for that mother to have to say goodbye to a child, let alone one that was already three/four years old. I know that little girl will be an angel watching over everyone she had touched over her short life... and I pray that her family will not suffer too much from her loss.
