Sometimes I don't understand why things happen!

Today has not been a good day. I found out this morning that a little girl that is Mara's age passed away due to complications of an e-coli infection. This little one would have turned 4 next month. It all started with the parents thinking she just had the flu. When she wasn't getting better, they took her to the emergency room where she was admitted. After tests were done, they found out she had contacted e-coli somewhere. They rushed her to a Children's Hospital. Her kidneys were failing. They were going to do something this morning to get the kidneys functioning. Well somewhere along the way, she didn't make it. I don't know why or what happened but I just couldn't imagine going through a loss of a child. Every time I looked at Mara today, I would get teary eyed. Why oh why do things like this happen. I know that all things happen for a reason and that God knows the time and day of our time is up on this earth. It makes me so sad and my heart is aching for this family. When I see them, it is going to be tough to know that their little girl would be Mara's age. It has been such a gloomy day, weather and all. Please just pray for the family. God knows who they are. It is going to be a long difficult road for them but God can help them through it. They do have a little boy who will be turning 3 in a few months. I just had to pour out my heart due to this tragedy.

P.S. Teri tagged me and I promise to do her tagging but I had to get this off of my chest.
