a bit blank...
I have so many thoughts running through my head right now, and perhaps I'll write more of them out later, but here's an update on my previous entry.
The grandson (named Christian) of my sister's fiance who passed away as a result of choking on a cookie? Didn't choke. Died of repercussions from severe head trauma (the doctor doing the autopsy said there is zero question of this and that he knew immediately upon starting the autopsy).
Christian's mother's fiance was just charged with murder. It is apparently all over the radio/news down in that area (they're from Warner Robins, GA). My sister is on the phone with her soon-to-be mother-in-law (Christian's great-grandmother) as I type, sharing this latest news with her (both my sister and the great-grandmother are flying down tomorrow morning).
I do ask that if you are someone who prays, you lift this family before God, the 'God of all encouragement and comfort.' I am praying for many things, not the least of which is that, should there be ANYTHING that still points to it being an accident of some sort, that it will become clear as day, so that an innocent person is not convicted of this incredibly... saddening-beyond-expression act. Christian's mother has now lost not just her son, but also her partner (and this is a young woman who seems to have had more than her share of crap so far). I am praying that she will not just give up on life.
If you are so inclined, drop a note to my sister (you know her email addy if you know her) and she can relay the message to Andy and his family.
