****Sad Note****
I don't know how many people have been following the progress of Dawn's conjoined twins, linked on my sidebar under "baby blogs," but there is a sad update today. Following a prolonged chain of serious health issues, they passed away last night. I am in tears for them, and for their family, and just pray that they are somewhere wonderful now. Nobody will ever understand why their short lives had to be so troubled, but I don't think anybody can dispute that their troubled lives touched so many other people it was incredible. The fact that they got to live at all, and know the love of their parents, siblings and incredible doctors is simply a miracle.

Say a little prayer today, if you do such things, for them and for their family. Such innocence, lost so young. :( I really believe a loving spirit had wide-open arms, welcoming them to a pain-free, euphoric eternity.
