(80,693 posts)back together again on the other side. But that's hardly what one could consider "good," when you think of the grandparents and others left behind, on this side, to remember and grieve.
This stuff is just mind-numbingly tragic. Poor little thing. At least her suffering is over. But her grandma's and grandpa's suffering is just beginning.
No good. No good at all. I feel so bad for the elders of that family - all their loved ones taken from them in a single disaster. So instant, and so FINAL. I can't even begin to imagine how much that must hurt. Tornados are equal-opportunity tragedies.

(9,213 posts)"We were all around the bed, I had my hand on the side of her, and I reached for her hand, and was holding her hand," Babcock said. "I don't know what made me let go but she put her arms straight up, she was daddy's little girl. So daddy picked her up and took her. The whole room seen that. He was just like, standing in front of her. She wanted to go with daddy."
