Perspective

There have been a few experiences this last year that have changed my perspecitve, and left a mark on my heart.
They have made me evaluate my attitude and my relationships with my kids and Jay.
In particular were the weeks after Mitchell passed away.
I thought so much about my children.
Especially when they were tired, hungry and cranky.
Crying, bickering inconsolable.
I thought, be grateful for them.
Be grateful for all of this. It is a gift.
What would his mother do, for one day back with him.

After reading so much about Nienie's accident I have thought over and over again about myself, and not being able to do things for my own kids.
I read this today, and it perfectly summed it all up.
Beautifully written. Thank you.
