Bless her little heart! She is really a gift sent from god and I personally thank him for protecting her on this tragic day! My heart goes out to her father, as he faces some very heartfelt days ahead. Recovery will feel like its impossible, but there is a brighter road ahead for everyone you must believe in yourself and the good lord! Prayers to all of you…
