Okay, so it’s just a message board, and most of us will never meet IRL. But even so, there’s a real sense of community here, and in that sense I just want to say my thoughts are with you, and to say that you will get through, you will find the strength, you will find the way from today to tomorrow, and the pain and sorrow filling your heart will not, does not, last forever. Your love for each other will heal this sorrow in a way nothing else can.

**Tibs** , hon… Words fail me. Been there. Hold each other close, pray, and let Him heal you the way only He can. God must have needed that little one up there. Take care of yourselves and each other.
