Ok look I know you all dont really know me or really talk to me much but as the summer gets closer I find my self getting more depressed. See last year I found out my child hood friend of 28yrs died in his sleep an then two days later my Husbands cousin was in a serious accident. An I tell you he was one of the most wonderfull ppl you could have ever met. Well it ended my my husbands cousin died a week later. An then my great aunt died in January. Then here in March three beautfil little girls passed away in a tragic fire. Two of the girls was my husbands other cousins little girls. One was my daughters age an the other was a little younger. I remember baby sitting the youngest when she was only 4 an here she was going on 8 when she died. The other little girl was my husbands bestfriend's little girl an she always wanted to make you smile. It has been a hard year. No I dont want sympathy or any thing like that. I just wanna say ya know I see so much going on an so many tragic things happening to children that you really just gotta take a step back an say wow my children really are treasures. Cause you see I have been so heart broken an hurt an I tell you the wounds in my heart are still raw an sore I can not even begain to think how the parents feel. Yesterday my bestfriend sent me a link to a blog on myspace an it damn near broke my heart all over again an made me cry. Her baby of 5 months was in a daycare an one of the women there shook her baby an the doctors dont know if her little boy will make it out of this or not. An I remember a part in one of her blogs was "As I sit in the waiting room I see these mothers with there children telling them to be quiet when here I am thinking please god just let me hear my baby cry one more time"
I guess what I am trying to get at is just cherish every little thing you can with your children dont ever take the smallest thing for granted.
