I've just learned that a class mate of my daughter passed away last evening. This girl has an absolutely horrible degenerative disease, and while we all knew this day would eventually arrive, it doesn't make it any easier right now. Grace was such a sweet little girl and always had a smile on her face. She knew exactly what she wanted and wouldn't settle for less. As an adult who knew her, my heart is breaking for the loss of her, and of course I can't even fathom what her family is feeling right now. And to lose her on Thanksgiving of all days...there just aren't words.
I have no idea how I'm going to tell Catherine this news. She is out with the rest of our family right now running some errands. I have to find a way to stop my tears before I can share this information with her. Catherine and Grace were not close, but they had known each other since preschool. Please say some prayers for Grace's family.
