The thing about this internet is - you learn too much.

In the past week I've read about a 17 month old dying from issues related to prematurity, a 4 month old suddenly dying (could it have been SIDS?), and a father whose wife died just 27 hours after giving birth to their beautiful daughter.

I was only following one of those blogs - The Spohrs are Multiplying - the rest I heard about via twitter.

But that's not it. I've "met" people suffering from cancer, read about mothers dying from cancer, learned of children fighting for their lives with cancer.

I think Mike was trying to make me feel better, by saying, "even if you don't read about it, Cathy, people are suffering everywhere."

It didn't really help.

Today, I'm wearing purple in honor of Maddie.
Today, I'm thinking of Maddie and Thalon's families.
Today, I'm going to hug my kids a few extra times.
Today, I will not be visiting twitter.
Today, I am taking a break.

I just wish the sun would come out today.

It's been some really rough days out there of late. Just so sad.

hang in there, Cathy.

try to remember that eventually you'll find what you're looking for if you search long enough.

look for good today, momma. for yourself, for your boys, and for those who can't. There's plenty out there.. I promise!

It has been a really tragic time.
