The Unknown

While checking out Facebook tonight I came across a posting by a fellow Truncus heart mom of the song "All of Me" by Matt Hammitt.  I have wanted to hear this song for a while so it struck my interest.  I read a comment below her posting that said "Such a touching song - I hope you can find some comfort during this time. Know that you have all of our prayers."  I had to read it twice and then thought to myself, what the heck are they talking about? 

I went into her facebook wall and found numerous postings by friends and family sending their prayers for the loss of their son.  Tears immediately filled my eyes.  I searched for a posting by her that would explain.  The last posting by her was on Saturday that was with a picture of an ornament her and her son had made.  There was no mention of anything wrong with little Wyatt.  I checked the Truncus Arteriosus board on Facebook and she had posted a question on Sunday - "My 3yo TA son often says he feels sick (and sometimes vomits) after running around and playing? Do you/does your TA kid get sick like he does?"

I'm not sure what happened but it made me realize how precious life is and how it can be ripped from you in an instant.  It terrifies me to think that this could have been Andrew.  Wyatt was doing really well and had just had a cardiology check up a few months ago.  I hate these reminders of how quickly things can change with no warning.  I hate the unknown.

I'll be hugging my buddy a little tighter tonight.
