Somehow you have dropped out of my RSS feed and I just caught this. I am so sorry. This is one of the worst things that can happen to a parent. There really are no words that can help, but I’m sure that your presence in their lives will make it all a tiny bit better, in the end.

Here from Fe’s blog.

So terribly terribly awful and sad.
And upsetting. xx to the family, and the little sister.

How utterly utterly devastating

Visited via Fe, and to express my deepest sympathies and sadness at this most horrific turn of events

I’m so sad that there’s nothing anyone can do, or say. So sad.

I cried reading your post. What a terrible tragedy. From the wording of your post I gather Lara was not ill when they put her to bed?? I just cannot imagine how something like that can happen and why. Very tragic, and very devastating, especially for Anna and Rob.

Anna and I are very old friends – I am sure that Lara’s name had something to do with her liking me, and liking the name, but I don’t think it was “because” of me, IYKWIM.

Of course, Lara was very special to me, whatever the reason for her name. She was the first baby I ever knit for.

my heart actually skipped a beat reading your post. What a devastating tragedy. I can’t help but feel angry for such a waste but will be sending thoughts out into the ethos for your friends.

I just have no words for this at all. It is beyond the realms of what my brain can comprehend and what my heart can bear.

Those poor poor parents. Oh my.
