Dolly

Last week Olivia's Dolly died.  Livie got her when she was 5 months old, so needless to say it was really hard.  Fortunately Livie understands that eventually everything dies, and that when we are sad we need to lean on God and He'll help us, she did, and He did.  This was the first time that I watched my daughter's heart break.  I'm sure that I will see it again and again, but I was hoping that it wouldn't come so soon.  I have never felt such a pain for my child and at that moment I would have done anything to take it away.  I guess that just means I'm a mom.
