Feeling a little blue today...

I've recently started reading this blog called 'A Daily Scoop', it was recommended to me by my sister in law, Elise.  I have to tell you this woman's strengh is amazing, I can't imagine having to go though what she has in the past 4 months.

Her daughter, Camille, who was 14 months old, drown in their hot tub in their back yard 5 days after they'd had it installed.  She died on June 15th.  They hadn't gotten the fence put up yet and the locking cover they had for it had broken a few days before she drown in a wind storm, and somehow the baby got outside...tragic how your whole life and change in an instant.

And it's truly amazing how absolutely sure in her faith she is.  She is a devout mormon and has been her whole life and has been using her faith to hold her and sustain her.  For her it is a certianty that she will be reunited with her Camille in heaven.  I am turly amazed by her...

And find myself wondering how I would survive something like that, losing one of my girls, every mothers' worst nightmare.  And I don't know how I would pull myself though it, what would I cling to, me, who has no particular faith that I'm fully invested in.  How would I overcome such a tragady?

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.
