losing a special soul
Dahlia lost her little best friend Samantha tuesday night in a horrible car wreck. We are so heartbroken for the mother who is also a good friend of mine. Dahlia asked us if Samantha can still be her best friend even though she is in heaven. so precious. Samantha wasn't just any sweet girl, she really was special to us. The first time our families met this was evident. Something about the way they played together and just clicked. Dahlia has lots of little girls she calls her friends, but samantha was her favorite and always had the best time with her.
Dahlia asked so many questions after I had told her what had happened... losing two special people in your life at the age of 4 seems so crazy! She is excited though that Samantha is playing with Augustine right now. That is a happy thought for her.
We are all grieving this sad loss and are feeling many similar emotions we felt last year. we Love Nicole so dearly and pray for her heart and soul to be comforted.

Not that Samantha became an angel, but the wings appear as sort of a foreshadowing of her life elsewhere. She looks like a heavenly being :-) What a sweet picture!
