Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman

I don't know how I missed this news, but Steven Curtis Chapman's 5-year-old daughter, adopted from China, was killed in a tragic accident on May 23rd. The oldest son accidentally backed over her in their driveway. Ironically, he wrote this song about her, Maria Sue Chapman, a couple of years ago. The words say, "All too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone." This family has a special place in my heart, not only because I love his music but because of their commitment to children and adoption. It is a great reminder to appreciate every moment with our families.

That is tragic! I almost said something to you about it earlier in the week in case you hadn't heard and I guess I forgot. I don't think I can even watch that whole video - I'm already crying 30 seconds into it.
