Today I got the news that my close friends, whom I met through my previous job, lost their 15 month old baby girl Alexa Rae. She was in the driveway when her father accidentally ran her over. That's really all I know of the situation. The last time I saw them was at her 1st birthday party, 3 months ago. This family has been through so much. When I first met this family, I had taken a job where the mother, Gina was my boss. She is a wonderful Christian woman and her husband Daniel is a wonderful Christian man. They have such loving and compassionate hearts. Once I got married and was living away from my parents, they were always there to lend a helping hand. During our first year of marriage we moved twice and both times they just handed over the keys to their SUV, because my husband and I both had small cars at the time. Gina and I always found time to go to lunch during the week. We shared about our personal lives together. She was always there to listen to anything I had going on. We've even stayed in contact with each other after 5 years of me not working with her. We're always willing to find a Christian concert to meet up at.
Daniel and Gina had a problem getting pregnant for years, so they turned to adoption. Of course the wait is long and the price is high, but they were so determined on having a family. Finally the day came where they were going to get their lil girl. I was not able to really be around them with Alexa but two times. But I know with all the love that I saw in their hearts, I know that they were terrific parents. They had an awesome family and support system the whole way. I love this family so much. It just breaks, literally tears my heart into pieces. I don't understand and will never know the answers of God's timing. All I vision is beautiful little Alexa dancing on the streets of gold with our amazing Heavenly Father. Until the day we meet again, Heaven's New Angel.
Alexa Rae, 5 months old
