In Honor of Baby Sayumi

First off, thank you for all your prayers and positive thoughts for my cousin's baby. For a while everything was moving in the right direction. Her liver counts were down, the dialysis she was on for her failing kidneys was starting to work, and she even woke up for a brief period of time. The doctors found out this shut-down of her tiny body was due to a viral infection, which had also gotten into her brain. Unfortunately, she lost her battle last night. There was just too much damage done to her little body.

Our hearts go out to Scott and Maiko in their time of loss. We commit to supporting them in any way they need.

This is a stark reminder of how frail we all are and how impermenent our time on this earth is.

I have one more request for you all. Please go hug your babies, no matter how big they are now, as well as all your loved ones, and please just appreciate today with them.

Sending you all a big hug and lots of love.

Amy, I am so very sorry to hear about little Sayumi. I cannot imagine the grief your cousin and his wife are experiencing. You are right, life is brief and very fragile and we need to always remember to appreciate all the moments we have.
