I just held a baby with no mommy...

and it nearly killed me.  This baby was born in April and the mommy died of cancer that they didn't know about until she gave birth.  She died holding him the day after Mother's Day.  Daddy is doing an awesome job on his own.  So incredibly sad and unfair.

    Oh my how terribly sad.  I hope that everything works out for the father - though even that sounds lame in the scheme of things.

    MrsLee--I love Matt's blog and follow it religiously.  Thank you for reminding me about his foundation.  I will look into it.  I think that they are ok financially, but I'll see if there's anything else that the baby would benefit from.  I just can't imagine not having a mommy...

    That poor baby, so young, younger even than my two little ones who are still so helpless.  I think I'm going to cry.  I wish the father all the luck in the world.

    How awfully, awfully sad.

    I think morbid thoughts now sometimes - what if I die, and Jack has no mommy?  The thought makes me incredibly sad, not for myself, but for Jack.  Ugh.  Just such a sad thought - and to think this baby really was left behind by his mommy who I am sure loved him so much.  Yuck.  Makes me want to cry. 

    Wheee!

    Oh how heartbreaking.  Poor little one but I am glad to hear the daddy is able to stay strong for him.
