I attended the wake of a 4 month old tonight. She died at day care. She seemed to just stop breathing and the family isn't sure what happened yet. My heart is breaking for her family. I graduated from high school with her mom. The baby's great grandmother told me that the parents got to hold her today for one last time. They rubbed her body with lotion and dressed their daughter in her pajamas, one last time. But instead of laying her down in her crib, they had to put her in her coffin. This is something no parent should ever have to do.
Little Cailyn, I'm sure tonight the angels in heaven are arguing over who gets to hold you in their arms. May God give Cailyn's family to strength and perseverance to get through this difficult time.
And mothers, hug your babies a little bit tighter, kiss their tiny heads a little more often and snuggle them just a little bit longer.

I seen you there Dawn but you were way ahead of us. I am still holding my babies close to me and will forever.
