Because we really never know....

I love to read blogs, of course my friends and family's blogs are always super fun to read, but once in a while you are able to read the blog of a complete stranger and get a glimpse into their life. Sometimes you read it and think what a waste of time that was, but sometimes you get to feel their love, their sorrow, you get to hear their testimonies or see miracle's happen within their lives.

A few weeks back I started following a blog referred to me by a friend, http://www.stakerzxposed.blogspot.com/, Bronson was pronounced DOA to Primary Children's, his mom put the info on her blog and asked for prayers and they came in, thankfully. And he has since made a full recovery and is back home being the cute little man that he his. It's been fun to keep up with him and his family after the accident.

One day his mom made a blog post in regards to Sage http://www.bartonfamilyco.blogspot.com/, (this is actually her aunt's blog) my heart broke when I read her story, she is darling. So I continued to check the blog to find out about the progress she was making only to find out that she had passed.

Then on Thursday night Kendra had said that her friend Kelsey's sister died, oh man can my heart break anymore in one week? Well after a little info from Kendra I found out where her friend lived, then started putting two and two together that Deidra may know the sister of Kendra's friend, so I went to ask and sure enough she did and when she thought of it Haley hadn't been to school in a few days, so I called my friend from their ward trying to get some info because at this point both girls were concerned. My friend Carrie started telling me the story and come to find out that it is the same Sage I had already been reading about, I just never knew she lived two street's over.

It is amazing how fast something can change your life forever. I have thought alot about this lately as I have read the two blogs plus other's where families have lost little one's unexpectedly. I truly don't know what I would do if I lost one of my children, and even though they can drive us crazy at time's they truly are a huge blessing in my life. I love them dearly, and pray for their safety all the time.

So as cheesy as it sounds, please hold your kids a little tighter, give them a few more hugs and try not to get upset about the little things, (I know I will be working on this as well). Because we really never know how long we have them for.
