Blessings and Heartaches

Some friends of ours Holly and Aaron have a beautiful daughter named Kate. She is the same age as Kenedi and has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He website is www.prayforkate.com. Please keep them in your prayers that they will win this battle. While looking at the comments on Kate's website I clicked on a link that tells the stories of other sick children. It is heartbreaking. Several of them have passed away just in the last few days or will be passing away within hours. Some of the children especially two of the boys reminded me of my own. I literally feel sick when I think of my children becoming deathly ill. I cannot imagine knowing that I had no control of their situations. I have sat at my computer and sobbed many times for the families. I am sometimes so frustrated by not having a second to myself. but these parents who no longer have their babies would give anything to have them back bugging them to read a book to them, or bring them a glass of water or have them crawl in the bubble bath with them. I have taken for granted my day to day blessings. My beautiful, healthy, happy, giggling, children. My loving, supportive husband, who is my best friend. If you have ever been through a tragic loss, you realize quickly how unimportant stuff and drama is. I would give away every penny for my children's health and happiness. Today I pray that God would touch all the precious children who are fighting for their lives and that he would also touch the families of those who lost their battles. and the next time that I am in bed and one of my sweet babies wants to sleep with me. I will scoot over and tresure every second that God blesses me with.
