So sad.

I got an email yesterday that my friend and former co-worker's little boy passed away on Wednesday. He was almost five years old and suffered for his whole little life with Tay-Sachs Disease. I have been choking back tears all day long - just to think of what his parents are feeling... there are no words.

It really puts things into perspective. Things that I think are so important... just aren't. Things that upset me so much... aren't really that upsetting.

To learn more about Tay-Sachs Disease and little Dylan, here's his website: Dylan James Manning Foundation

I'm sorry for their loss. It does put everything into perspective. Tonight I couldn't wait to lay the twins down to sleep. After reading this..I want to go in and give them an extra hug.

HUGS

I'm so sorry Jen. Tay-Sachs is such a terrible disease. May God bless and comfort his family in their time of grief.
