Caroline's Birthday
Sand in the Gears posted again today. He posts rarely, but his posts are always poignant.
Today he shares that his daughter would have been nine today, and how he’s learned how to live with her loss. Through it all, his faith carries him and his family.
If you want to read the whole story of Caroline first before you wish her a happy birthday, have a box of tissues handy first.



I know that you warned me, but a mom of two young kids should not read this at work.

Heartwrenching
Heartwrenching…
…and beautiful.
I have been trying all day to come up with words in reference to what Tony and his family have been through. I give up and will just steal, verbatim, what Michael said:

Oh Michael. Thank you. I have Sand in the Gears blogrolled, but somehow I’d never read Caroline’s story, until today. Thanks for linking to him. Time to get on my knees and pray – for them, for us.

I clicked on the links again this afternoon – I don’t care how many times you read Caroline’s story, it’s a heartbreaker each time.
