Gone too soon

Today I opened her blog to see how she was doing, just to find out that Emilie from lemmondrops went to be with God on the night of the 23rd. My heard is broken for her husband and her 2 little ones. As a mother I can only imagine how hard is must have been for her to know that she would not be there to raise her two boys. Her husband said well, she is now free of pain and suffering, it just seems she was gone too soon.
less than 2 months ago she wrote on her blog
"Sometimes my desire to live, to hold onto this world, hits me full force, like it did this morning when I was driving across the Mississippi River with Daniel on the way to the mall, and the chilly air winked with sunshine, and K.D. Lang's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was playing on the CD player, and I turned around to see how Daniel was liking the song, and we held each others' gaze just long enough until I needed to watch the road again, and tears came to my eyes because I love this life, this music, this autumn, my family, so much. "

It is so sad hat she did even get chance to celebrate Christmas with her family. That Ben's first Christmas will always be a reminder of such a sad time...
