    Here is my take on this. It seems as though God has a plan for us all. When someone is taken at a tender young age, they are needed in Heaven for something. It never seems random. It always seems like there is something special about the chosen ones who are still young and seem to have had so much more life to live. I know it must be very difficult for you though. Try to keep in mind that God has a special plan for all of us.

    I am so sorry Alyssa. This is so shocking! Death is horrible at any age, but the younger the person the more unfair it seems.

    Hugs to you and condolences to her family and friends.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
