I'm sorry to bring such a depressing subject but i'm just so sad today. I have been apart of another message board for over two years now. A friend on the board woke up this morning to find her 7 month old son not breathing. It's devestating.

I have gone to this board for a long time and i'm emotionally connected with these people (I'm sure you understand) and today my heart is broken for this lady.

    Oh my gosh. That is just horrible!!!!!!!!! I can't even imagine the grief she must feel. Give her our sympathies and I'll keep her in my prayers tonight. I hope she finds the strength to deal with this. I really do. I'm so sorry. Was it SIDS?

    We have not heard exactly what happened. She called the moderator of the board screaming and crying while the ambulance was trying to revive her son (she is divorced and has no one, literally and we are a very close group of people). The moderator said she could hear the sirens and all the chaos in the background.

    Her name is Sherry and her baby's name is Drake. May God lift Drake in to his arms and give Sherry strength to stay strong during this difficult time.

    Hug your loved ones.

    Today, he is in the loving arms of the Lord.
    On earth he was limited, so God reached down, gave him a pair of wings and now he can fly.
    I do not know her pain, And I can not begain to understand the reasons that sad things happen.
    But I will pray for her, And for you as well. :cry: :brokenheart:
    The closest thing I can even say came from the poem "FOOTPRINTS"
    "It is at times like this,That I carried you."

    :cry: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's baby. As a parent, I couldn't even imagine how I would cope with losing a child, especially a baby. I think the only consolation would be in knowing that the baby is in Heaven. Please let your friend know that so many people are praying for her. :cry:

    Thank you all for your prayers. Our board is all getting together and collecting funds for her to help her through this rough time. As a single mother, she needs it. We have collected over $800 so far. Everyone on that board is so wonderful. We have just as many wonderful people here too!

    Thank you all.

    My prayers for you and your friend, may God send His angels to comfort you both during your sorrow. I believe all children are God's children and Drake is with his Heavenly Father now. I have no words that can take the pain away, I am very sorry my heart breaks for you both. God will hear all the prayers and will be there for you and her both. :heart:

    She is getting a lot of support from us. So far we have raised over $1700 plus a member of our board paid her rent for the month. The last thing she needs to worry about is money right now.

    Thanks for the prayers, you guys are wonderful.

    Please give her my sympathy. I am new to this site but I can speak from experience I lost my 23yr old son 3 years ago this past 2-23. I know it is easier said then done but I live my life the way he would of wanted me too I have 2 girls 11 & 14 who adored him and they were his pride and joy they were extremely close. Him and I were extremely close and not a day goes by that I don't miss him and the only advise I would have to her is take one day at time.
