Landon Tyler Showen

Landon Tyler Showen was born on December 13, 2008. His Mom and Dad are very good friends of ours from Charles Town. Michele and Zach Showen. We have known them since 2003, when Michele and I worked together for over a year. Throughout that time, Tom and Zach became very good friends also. Before we moved to Fairmont, the night before in fact, we went to their house for a 'farewell dinner'. And we had a huge tub of clothes to give them for their unborn born baby boy. Along with A baby swing and some other goodies for him. Things that Jagger had when he was a baby and had grown out of. I hadn't seen them since the move, but have talked to Michele quite a bit throughout the time.
Today, I got a call from Michele. I assumed it was her usual monthly (or so) call to check up on us, and fill me in on how her life has been. That's how our conversations usually go lately.
But today was different. When she spoke, she spoke weak. I could hear the tears in her voice. She muttered the words "Landon died this morning" Her precious baby boy, only 5 months old, had been taken by God today, May 16, 2009.
What do you have say to someone who says those words to you? How can you come up with something to say? You can't. It's impossible.
At this time, his cause of death is unknown. Michele told me that when she went in to get him this morning, there was blood in his mouth and he was cold.
The idea of my friend walking in to her baby boy's room and seeing him lying there lifeless, is unbearable to me. The worst thing imaginable. Landon had been sent for an autopsy today. I have not talked to Michele tonight.
She only said "I have to bury my baby this week. . ." and then I told her I love her. And we said goodbye.
I know these things happen. But to my friend? To someone so close to me? This doesn't happen to people I know.
I am sickened by this. Hurt. and sad. My God, how does this happen?
How do I know that God has a plan, but curse that plan all the while?
I am now at a loss of words.
