Life and Death...

Thursday morning I found out at breakfast that someone I had worked closely with had died of cancer. She had battled a long time and so it wasn't surprising but nevertheless was sad still. I just had talked with her recently...

Tonight I was just relaxing out and catching up on blogs. The most recently updated blog was an old college friend who lost twins and later 4 of 6 of her septuplets. She mentioned that they now have a website so I checked that out and it lead me to a blogging journal of what the blow by blow of the birth and their struggles (and loss).

Seeing those pictures humbled me a lot just now. I really was lucky that my little cupcakes are doing so well. We could have lost them. They were so tiny and so fragile. I just can't believe how blessed we were and are. Everyday we have life is a gift. Every hug from someone we love is a gift. It is those miracles that I get lost and forget when things get frustrated or hard but those are the moments that make everything worth living.

  1. Such wisdom! I am sorry about your friend. I am also so grateful that you were spared that sorrow. I cannot imagine the pain your friend must be going through. What a blessing your darlings are!
