Angel Baby

Summer Jade This sweet little girl was taken from our world.
Way too soon.
I have known Summer since she was 2
I hold her father, Robert, dear to my heart.

Robert was an amazing father. After his divorce with September, he devoted all of his time to his daughter. September was driving, under the influence, at like 2am when she crashed with Summer in the car. From what my sister, Amy (who is a lot closer to Robert and Summer as she was neighbors with them), said, an old man held Summer as she died. When September realized what she did, she "fell" off the bridge-but it was probably intentional.


Is it bad to say that because of the person September was, and the sweet angel baby that Summer was, that I am glad September died? Is that to harsh?


Take a moment to pray for Robert, he lost his only little girl.

Wow. That is horrible. Horrific. Tragic.

I'm sorry for his loss. I can't imagine how he must be feeling. I pray he knows the Lord to get him through this tough time. Ugh....

These are such tough questions to answer. It's hard sometimes to think there is a God out there who loves us, yet bad things happen to poor little girls like this. I do know, though, that she is in heaven with her heavenly father. And He is probably looking down at her earthly father saying, "well done."

I would venture to say that it's extrememely normal to have the feelings you do towards her mother. I work for a children's agency and I get sick when I think about the things parents have done to the children we serve.

I'm not a preacher, or an expert on life, but I do know that God is soverign and that we have to trust in His plan for our life, and the life of those around us, even when's it's tough to realize how something so devistating can fit into that plan.

How heartwrenching. My thoughts are with your friend. I can't imagine experiencing anything close to that.

I think your feelings of anger are normal. I just think that if God is understanding and forgiving, we can be too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your friend and little Summer.

What a horrible thing for a Father to have to endure. I'll say a prayer for Robert today.

she looks about the same age as my daughter (whom I call "angel baby").

how heartbreaking. I will definitely be praying for her father.

I'm with you, don't feel bad that you feel that way. If I was the mother and I killed my daughter by driving under the influence, I'd prob. jump. I mean how could you live with yourself?

I am so sorry to hear this story, and the one about Becca. I will keep these families in my prayers.
