Sad Baylee

I don't know if any one else ever gets that uneasy feeling when things are going really good. Sometimes I just stop and think...hmm can this be real? All the things going on in this world and my life seems to be going really good. Why me? Why do I deserve happiness? Don't get me wrong, my life has not been easy. I have endured many painful things. Still to this day after everything, I am still amazed at human nature. Mean and miserable people that love to see turmoil and want to take everyone down with them. Then you have good people that love their family and all the sudden out of nowhere, tragedy.
Baylee had just gotten home form her Dad's on Sunday and received a message on facebook that one her friends was killed earlier that day in an accident. The look of terror on her face at that moment was so overwhelming for me, her Mom. Her friend, Dillion, was killed on a 4-wheeler accident after pulling out in front of a car. As her Mom, there are no words to comfort. All I could do was hold her. She has cried for days. With the loss of my brother, Baylee understands the finality of death, unlike most kids her age. For those of you that know Baylee, her heart is unlike most. She feels the pain of others. Her heart has ached over Dillion's death. What I have I learned about Dillion's family through his death, he brother has a life threatening illness. I was told that this family's only other son's health is failing is not expected to live through the year. Why God? Why must this family endure so much? I ask you to pray for this family and through all of this, God's plan will be revealed.

My heart goes out to the family of Baylee's friend. Baylee is learning such a hard lesson. She's lucky to have you as her mom.
