A Good Grief

Thanks to the blogging world, I am now able to keep in touch with cousins on my dad's side! From this I learned some tragic news this past summer. My cousin David's little boy Gabriel had suddenly stopped breathing at home and passed away. I got an email from my cousin's wife Amy a few weeks ago about a video that their family was featured in. They received help from a wonderful foundation that helps families recover emotionally and financially from the difficulties that come with losing a child.
The following video tells the story of the family who started the foundation and another family they were able to reach out to and assist, my cousin.
A huge benefit concert including performances from Broadway actors and LDS musician/folk singer Cherie Call is set for Thursday, March 17th at the Murray Theatre. 4969 S State Street, Murray, UT.

bawled through the whole video. I can't imagine that kind of loss. What a great thing that family is able to do. Thanks for sharing.

I should have added a warning to make sure you have tissues within reach before you watch the video!

I actually am friends with their brother, Paul, and have read the story. I think of it all the time and it reminds me to hug my little ones a little tighter all the time.
