Thought request, death mentioned.

A local family that shares a friend with me lost their little girl last night. She was only 2. Her daddy had gone to get her some watermelon, and she tried to turn her movie on, and pulled a several hundred pound antique chest of drawers down on herself. Dad is a wreck, mom is in shock, and their adoptive son (who is autistic) doesn't know how to cope at all. Dad is refusing to go back into the house, and broke his hand on a wall last night. The community is pulling together to provide for them, and help them move.. But i just can't even imagine... 2 years old, and only alone for a minute. Her dad doesn't remember a thing, but their son says that after he heard the crash, he ran in and through the chest of drawers through the play room wall getting it off of her.. Mom wasn't even aloud to see her. I am not the type to pray, but i know they are, and i know a lot of you are.

I don't even know these people personally, just casual online acquaintances, but i have been crying off and on all morning. I can't stop thinking about all of the times Thoren has been left alone in a room, and this little one wasn't much older then him.. *shudder*

I want to throw up reading this.

I have been begging DH to help me secure furniture to the wall and he can't seem to find the will to do it. I'd do it alone, but I'm not wonderful at finding the best attachment, etc., to make it secure, and DH gets angry if I take one house projects on my own (which pisses me off). Your posting this has inspired me: my in-laws are going to be in town, and FIL was a construction foreman. I'm going to go above DH's head and ask them to come over and get this shit DONE. There is no excuse if there is a way to prevent this from happening.

Poor baby girl. Saying prayers for her family and friends. I can't even imagine!

Such an innocent thing. I'm sobbing just thinking about it. So scary.

Oh my goodness.. Thinking of the family in hopes they find some way to cope. I couldn't imagine if that happen to DS. He is my whole world.

I feel the same way. I don't think i could survive losing Thoren.. What's worse, is that a month ago they lost their oldest daughter to a 7 year battle with cancer. She was 26. So they have lost both of their biological children in the last month. I don't even think i could function at this point.. Dad is who my heart especially breaks for, he thinks he killed their baby.. I just can't even imagine.

My god, I don't even know how you handle that kind of grief. Keeping all of them in my thoughts. Thank you also for the great reminder about being ever vigilant.
