Such sweet smiles.

Life is often too unfair to comprehend.

My heart is full of grief for their families, and sadness for the brevity of their lives.

Namaste, Little Climbers.

Two young and beautiful people, too young to leave this world.

You have friends, you make your community large, you live and love, and you will know loss....
It has touched us before...
These two were so young and innocent.
May a loving God surround the Moms and Dads in his loving embrace, as well as their friends.
