Sometimes Life Just Kicks You...

...hard, and then gives you a little push while you are down. It takes a few minutes to get your bearings, figure out what is broken. Often, you can't get up on your own, you need to reach out and take that hand that is there waiting to pull you up and help you stand on your feet. You brush yourself off and take a step forward, wobbly as it may be...

I can get mad at Life, curse him out, but it won't do any good. So I remember all the good things Life has offered, all my blessings.

There are many. I have told my sisters that I love them more times in the past week than in the past 20 years. And Michelle and Jimmy will look back one day and be proud of how they have handled things. Be proud that they freely cried and leaned on others when they needed to and that they were stronger than anyone ever imagined.

Life sometimes teaches you that time is short and moments are precious. You never know and can never predict...so this weekend, I am remembering to kiss and hug my most precious gifts, Nathan and Ella. I am comforted that they don't know what is happening and that they can smile and laugh. These are the faces I am holding on to...


It is only a matter of time before Baby James goes to heaven. Tomorrow morning if not before then...he will always be our angel. And when Life throws curves, we will pray to him to watch over us. And he will...

BTW: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR POSITIVE COMMENTS AND PRAYERS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH COMFORT THEY HAVE BROUGHT MY FAMILY. THEY WERE ALL CHECKING IN HERE AND WERE TOUCHED BY ALL THE SUPPORT.

  4. Take care of yourself and each other! Unfortunately we all need to be reminded to be thankful for what we have. It is the nature of Life. And some days it sucks on a royal level!
