Candles for Teegan

I have never met this little girl. I only know her because I chat with her Mommy online on a scrapbooking message board. I have seen her pictures, heard stories about her, heard her Mommy brag with pride about the little girl that she had longed for after 4 boys.

Last night Teegan went to sleep with a bad cough and cold. She snuggles up next to her parents, and fell asleep between them surrounded by thier love. She never woke up. She passed away this morning. She was just a little older than two.

I logged on to SJ to look around the general scrapbooking board, and I noticed that people had changed thier avatars. I went to the Lounge to find out what was going on, and read a post from her Mommy's Best Friend with the sad news.

It hit me like a ton of bricks, I feel so sad, so lost. I keep seeing the pic of her smiling face, sitting in the snow, bundles up for winter and I cry. She is so close in age to my beautiful little angel. I just want to go in there, and hold Savannah, and never let her go.

I can't imagine what Sarah is going through right now, or what her DH is doing right now. She also has 3 little boys that adored thier baby sister.

I honestly can't even begin to find the words to express the sadness that has filled my heart tonight.

Go with God, Baby Teegan. May he keep you safe and loved until your Mommy can hold you in her arms again. She'll see you again in Heaven.
