Please send some love to Tessa, who just lost her little girl Eva last night.
What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday I was excited about Eva’s new high chair and today there is no Eva to sit in it.
Last night at around 9pm Eva woke crying. Both I and my amazing and brave housemate Ess went into comfort her. Ess passed her to me and we could tell something wasn’t right. Eva was taking great gasping breaths. Then suddenly she stopped.

I’m absolutely shattered for Tessa. Crying tears for her and Eva and sending T love.
I’ve been following her blog for months now and couldn’t believe my eyes when I woke up this morning. I am thankful to have been touched by Eva and am simply heartbroken for Tessa.
I agree. I can’t even imagine….
I saw that blog a few months ago but hadn’t kept up with it. Today has been a day where not crying at work has been a challenge.
Yes, I agree. Today is a sad sad day.
Oh god, this just broke my heart into a million pieces.
Yeah. Mine too 😦
you really never know what to say. No words to describe the empathy you feel for the unfathomable. I’m so sorry for her but it sounds like Eva lived to the fullest and was loved deeply. Hugs to this amazing little family.
Oh man, I’d been reading her blog a few months back but it had slipped off my reader and I hadn’t noticed. So, so sad.
So so sad.
I couldn’t even get through the end of this…I’ve never followed this blog but my heart goes out to them and their loved ones. How devastating…
