Sad day

I got an email from an old friend today. Her sister-in-law, here in Vegas, is about to deliver a stillborn baby & she wanted me to go take a mold of the baby's hands & feet to make a casting. I have a small casting business (Hearts & Hands), so I've done this sort of thing before, & it never fails to break my heart & drive me towards some comfort food.

I really struggle when dealing with other people's emotions. I'm a magnet for them, positive or negative, in happiness, or in grief, & it lingers with me for some time afterwards. Having lost several babies of my own, it makes this kind of thing that much harder.

Anyway, it's a sad day for this family & I wanted to ask for your thoughts & prayers for this family. Their names aren't necessary... I'm sure our Heavenly Father knows.
