Saying goodbyes are never easy...

But it must really be hard to say goodbye to a young little life that has barely begun. My friend Ro lost her 7-week-old baby this week. Yalaina Simone was born about 2 months premature due to complications, and she gave quite a fight to survive. Every time the doctors and nurses were ready to give up, she'd rebound and prove them wrong. But this last time, she was't able to pull through. It's so very sad.

She is survived by her loving parents, Ro and Eric, and her two older siblings, Emmi and Bubby. She was well-loved and will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she and her story touched.
