Emotional Rant

Last week was a hard one for me, for my best friend, and for his family. We were robbed of someone we absolutely loved, at such a young age. My best friend’s little brother was in a deadly accident and passed away, and our world’s were rocked.

As a mother who lost her child at birth, I know first hand that a mother should NEVER bury their child. You’re not supposed to have to bury your child, not at birth, not in infancy, and definitely not as a young adult. Losing your child is every mother’s biggest nightmare, nothing ever comes close. You expect people to die when they’re old, not when they are twenty five years old. It’s just NOT okay.

To be honest, I didn’t think it was going to affect me the way it has. I always texted him for his birthday, which is coming up next week, but I hadn’t seen him in almost five years…but that doesn’t change the impact that beautiful boy had in my life. He was such a vibrant kid, with the goofiest laugh and smile you could possibly ever have. It just freaking SUCKS that he was taken so soon. My heart hurts thinking about it.
