I'd start this by asking the Mods to move this if it isn't appropriate, but since I'm a Mod, and I have no idea... I'm sure Kevin will let me know.

I just needed somewhere to post this, amongst people I've communicated with for a while, and consider friends. I'm at work, and just got a call from my sister, that our baby brother's 2-year-old son died in his sleep. He had a slight fever, but wasn't actually sick. He went to bed last night, and never woke up. They're very religious, so the funeral will likely be today or tomorrow morning at the latest, so the chances of me making it to the funeral are slim to none. She said our brother was pretty whacked out, so I figure I'll give him a while before calling.

Anyways, thanks. I guess I just need some virtual hugs here...

So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your brother and his family, as well as your extended family. What a sad, sad passing. :sad1:
 
sayhello, I'm so very sorry to read this.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
 
I am so sorry, the loss of a child always seems so unfair and tragic.
 

I am so sorry to hear of such a tragic loss for your family. Sometimes God does challenge us by handing us such a tragic shock. Hopefully their faith will help them and someday will get the answer of why. God Bless.
 
Hugs given
So sorry- this is terribly sad for all of you
 
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this unbelieveable tragedy. :hug:

This is a terrible loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.:hug:
