Our oldest and youngest sisters came into town for a "summer vacation" two months after we changed cities. It was so great to see them! The youngest earned the nickname of "Happy Baby" because she is always...you guessed it - happy! She almost leapt out of her big sister's arms when she saw us. The whole afternoon we were with her she just continued to shrill with excitement. We found it necessary to take our sisters out for their first bowl of ice cream! We all really enjoyed it!
Sadly, a week after Jessica and I left the country, we heard word that Happy Baby had gotten sick. She was taken to the hospital and died there. No one knows what was wrong. When I remember how happy she was to see us that last day, I can only imagine what kind of excited screams she must have let out when Jesus took her in His arms!
