With Sadness...

A close friend of mine lost her son this morning due to complications as a result of anencephaly. He was born on 2/17/16, and they were able to spend 3 days with him that I'm sure went by so very quickly, yet will be a lifetime of memories. 

I am completely heartbroken for her and her family. I knew that this news would be coming, but it's never the news you want to hear. I admire her courage and strength, as she has carried the knowledge of his condition with her for several months, and she will carry his passing with her for the rest of her life. 

I ask that you please keep her and her baby boy (and their whole family) in your thoughts and prayers, send love and light, etc. She is a very special person, strong woman, mother, daughter, and friend.
