Some of you may remember hearing about Zoe, she and her mom were our roommates at Children's Hospital. A million years ago.
Zoe passed away last night due to complications with pneumonia. She was almost two, weighed 12lbs and 12oz, had Trisomy 18, lived longer than most with that genetic condition, and touched a lot of people during her short life. Her dad had a blog for her:
http://batiansila.blogspot.com which is how I learned the news. The family is large (8 children) and strong in faith, they knew their time with Zoe was short, but it doesn't make it any easier I supopse. They are greatful for the time the had & are much stronger than I can possibly imagine being.
I went home at lunch to hug my little man and remember how truly lucky we are. He snotted all over me, threw his lunch on the floor, and blew me a kiss goodbye. I am blessed.
