A Clean House is the Sign of an Idle Mind... I'll never write a book on housekeeping!

Current mood:  sad
This past Thursday, a fellow Blogger and member of Romance B(u)y The Blog Bella, Rachd, lost her darling little girl, Hannah, in a swimming accident.  Today is the day Rach, her family and friends will be celebrating Hannah's life.

Since I learned of this tragedy last night, when I returned home from a trip to visit friends in Tennessee, I've been wiping tears from my face.

It's incomprehensible that a parent should have to bury their child. I'm amazed that Rach has chosen to share this very private, very tragic event in her life by posting her thoughts on her blog, but she has--very eloquently--just as she's shared the daily joys of raising two beautiful daughters. I feel very privileged to be able to join her in her grief.

Hannah was one of those little girls who had the ability to see wonder and beauty in everything.  Even something as simple as a leaf or a frog.  She loved flowers, sparkly things and the water. And she loved to share her discoveries with anyone who took the time to pay attention.

So, if you feel so inclined, wear something sparkly today. Something "Divaesque" to celebrate little Hannah's life and if someone asks, tell them "It's for a very beautiful little girl who brought joy, and wonder and beauty to this earth for far too short a time." 

And if you're a parent, hug your kids. If you can't hug them, call them and tell them you love them.  You never know...

It's always difficult for a parent to lose a child. As a mother, I ache when I read about a child's death. I count my blessings that I have a healthy daughter who has reached adulthood.

Your words touched my heart as I'd expect, critique partner! Good job.

When I get home from RT tomorrow, I will hug them hard and long, thinking of how precious and fragile the gift of them is.


All my thoughts and comforting wishes go out to Hannah's parents and friends. Losing any life is hard, but losing a bud that has not had time to bloom is devastating.
