I finished posting on my blog and decided to catch up on friends blogs. I haven't read them in forever. I got to a friends blog and it all hit me. I am asked alot about why and how I do so much and worry about spending time with my kids instead of sleeping or doing other things. I just want to be with my kids if I can. Don't get me wrong they get on my nerves as normal teenagers do but they are mine!
I was reading about how she was staying with a family member that had just lost their Granddaughter. As I clicked on a link to read more about this beautiful young lady who had passed. I started to cry. It touches your heart the way only certain things can. I don't know how to explain it. You want to go in and wake your kids and give them a hug. Watch them sleep. Take a mental note on how they look, smile, laugh, smell. She was my daughters age I couldn't imagine losing one of my kids and the strength this family has shown I was amazed.
Not only did it send me to tears reading all that was said regarding her memory but it made me really think about how much time we waste not spending it making memories with our kids and family.
The other night I was asked why I push myself so hard to work and do as much as I do with my kids. I don't want to miss out on anything if possible. I want to see them achieve but be there when they fall to pick them up.
I am so glad she shared this link to what I am sure is a very difficult time for her and her family. That young girl is touching far more lives then anyone will ever realize.
