Today began like any other normal daycare day. I woke up super early to safeguard and care for children that are usually either extremely sweet or extremely rotten.
One little boy of ours is a special needs child. He has a wheelchair and cannot speak outside of random sounds. It just so happens that he left the state 6 days ago to undergo more surgery. (I hope it is understood that I cannot give out specifics.) He came back home last night earlier than the doctors and his parents had expected. He did very well with 3 straight days of surgery.
Last night, around 10:30 pm, a rescue call went over the scanners for a 6 year old boy. The boy was unreponsive and CPR was in progress. Not long after the CPR was announced, the scanners informed their listeners that this child has gone into cardiac arrest.
Calvin passed away last night.
He was 6 years old.
He had just started kindergarten this year.
He has a little brother and two parents who loved him very much.
He was one of the most sweet and ornery little boys I had ever met.
He was adored by everyone he encountered.
Daycare will never be the same without him.
We all loved him.
So,
cherish your children. Love them. Care for them. Surprise them. Laugh with them. Hold them. Kiss them. Cuddle them. Make them feel safe.
You never know how long God will let you keep them.
