Today I read (via Twitter) about a family who had just welcomed a baby girl, Chloe into the world just days ago. The mom has cancer and today she died. As I look through their pictures, I am forced to realize how short life is, they are just a young couple starting their life together. I realized how each moment we get to spend with people we love, is truly a gift and could be gone tomorrow. I realize that not only should we pray for this sweet family but also appreciate our own.
I know that in our busy lives we take for granted the time we get to spend with loved ones yet I also know that I will change that tonight for myself. I will try to not get annoyed with little things that can go wrong, I will try not to get stressed over things that do not matter in the big picture of life. I will kiss my baby a few extra times before I go to sleep tonight and I will tell him and my brother just how much I love them over the next few days, after all, life is short.
To everyone who is reading this right now, please know how much you mean to me. I do not forget the little things you have done for me, I do not take for granted the help you give, I love you all so very much, thank you for being such an important part of my life.
Please join me in praying for this family, I cannot imagine all the emotions they are feeling right now. Their blog is http://www.bandssullivan.blogspot.com/, read their story, pray for them, or even leave a comment, but be sure to bring your kleenex.

Just wanted to say I LOVE YOU!! Yes, that blog is really sad. You know, we hear stories like that periodically but sometimes not seeing a face or knowing all the details and things about their family, it may not seem as close to our hearts. It's so sad. I am thankful for my children, my grandson, my family and friends and look forward to every minute that God gives us together. Love,
