it's never a good day.

for a funeral.

there was a funeral today. for a boy that i nannied for long ago.

i was there when his mom found out she was pregnant. i was the first person to stay with him when his parents went out to celebrate.

i laughed. and giggled. and hugged. and was charmed by his sweet personality and his "it wasn't me" silly smile.

he was a charmer. a little doll. he adored his brother and his parents. he loved life. and everyone loved him.

and i was lucky to know him.

and sadly. he was taken away. this weekend. a tragic end to a beautiful. young life.
