Layla Grace
I went to bed last night with a heavy heart.. The last tweet from @laylagrace did not sound like Layla was doing well. I told my husband that I wondered if Layla would slip away to heaven that night or today. I just had this feeling. I prayed for Layla before I went to bed last night I prayed for peace for this sweet girl.
I could not sleep this morning..I woke up at 6:30 and the first thing I thought of was Layla. I checked Twitter for any updates and there was nothing. So I prayed for Layla and her family like I always do. We had a play date this morning and the whole time we were there I was thinking about Layla and wonderig how she was doing. And I checked Twitter hoping to get an update. We came home from our play date the Chickens played outside it was a normal day. Then I checked Twitter again and there was an update saying that sweet Layla Grace had gone to heaven early this morning.
I sat at my computer and I bawled. And I saw my Twitter stream fill with people expressing their sadness and prayers for Layla and her family. I felt like I was able to grieve with friends over the loss of this precious little girl. I was thankful for that moment.
Layla went to play with the angels early this morning. Rest in peace precious Layla. 11/26/2007 – 3/9/2010
Please pray for this family.. My heart is breaking for them.

Rest In Peace, beautiful Angel
This was beautifully written. You are not alone. I felt the same way as you did last night and woke around 4am this morning thinking of that sweet baby and knowing that she had probably gone to heaven. It was heavy on my heart all morning too. And it affected me so deeply. It just seems so unfair on all of these little ones and their parents’ : Maddie, Cora, now Layla. It’s hard to understand, but as a mother, it gave me a depth of appreciation that I would never had had before if it wasn’t for these little angels.
Glad you were on Twitter today – I take comfort in how everyone reached out to this family and child in their darkest days. It gives me renewed hope in humanity.
Thanks for being such an encouraging friend.
Tricia : ) xx
Ah thank you so much my friend. I have been so touched by Layla and I hurt so much for her family. I am thankful that she is not in pain anymore. I can’t even imagine how her family must feel.. I hope they are somewhat comforted by the outpouring of love for Layla and the difference her short life has made.
Beautifully written. I’m so sad the world had to lose this little girl, but i’m so glad that her suffering has come to an end.
