My friends experienced every parent’s worse nightmare when their adorable three year old Lucy drowned on Friday. She passed away late last night. There sweet family is all I have been able to think about the past few days. My heart just breaks for them. It is so hard to lose someone you love so deeply, so tragically.
Although it is totally different, it brought back a lot of the same emotions and feelings I had when Natalia passed away. It is so hard when everyone around you seems to get a miracle… but you don’t. It’s hard to understand Heavenly Father’s plan, and to have faith in HIS will.
When tragedies like this happens, it seems to awaken a new sense of perspective in life. What is truly important? What truly matters? It makes me want to be a better person.
I am so grateful for the knowledge I have that this isn’t the end for Lucy. I know she is serving valiantly in the spirit world, and will one day be reunited with her family once more… never to be separated again. I am so grateful for eternal families.

"Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays. But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come. No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come.” ― Joseph B. Wirthlin ♥

My heart is breaking for your friend and I don't even know them. Very sad. It really does make you appreciate the gospel more. Never an easy thing for a family to go through, though, even with strong testimonie.
oh my goodness, what a tragedy. I think it's easy to have sympathize with whose who have lost someone they love so dearly no matter the circumstances. Just so sad.
Oh, that is so so sad. I just can't even imagine losing Ty right now. It really is a parent's worst nightmare.
