I came across a blog on CNN one day about a new mom and baby who were both fighting cancer. It broke my heart. Before I was a parent, I'd be sad to read a story like this. But now that I am a parent...a mom...it takes my breath away. To imagine this happening to another family is hard to fathom. To think of Aubree or Layne fighting for their life?!? On Christmas Eve night, before bed, Aubree walked into the bathroom and smacked her head on the counter. She was overly tired is all I can think of how she did it. Her eyelid bled a little and she ended up with a black eye. Seeing her so upset and hurt pulled at my heart and I had to fight back the tears myself. Compare this with your child fighting to live....it's difficult. But I suppose as a parent, you suck it up, display your best poker face, comfort your baby as much as possible and break down in the quiet moments by yourself. My heart is heavy for the Fitzgerald's loss.
