Last night, I read a blog written by the Mom of a precious five year old that is now with the Lord. This amazing mother lost her little girl to a brain tumor. As I read, tears rolled down my face. I was in awe of her and her husbands faith in the Lord. If you get a chance, I encourage you to read this blog. I don't know who these people are but, I am so glad I was able to read their story.
There are days Kagen drives me crazy. She wants to climb on me. Hug me. Kiss me. Play with me. While I see a dirty house. Clothes that need to be washed. Dishes that need to be washed. Things that just need to get done.
After reading about Leightyn, I felt awful. I was so worried about everything else that I easily got annoyed when my sweet baby girl just wanted to love on me. The guilt over came me. How could I worry so much about things that are so small when those moments could be taken away so quickly? I love that little girl so much, I don't know what I would do without her. She is a gift from God. I am a firm believer that our time on this earth is in God's hands. And, his hands only. I pray I never have to watch Kagen go through anything like this. I want to stop taking advantage of the fact the she is alive and well. It's so easy to do, don't you think?
My husband doesn't like reading stories like Leighyn's. But, to me, it's a reminder of just how precious life is. Yes, it's sad but, also uplifting. Those parents have such an amazing attitude about it. I admire their strength. I will be praying for this family and ask that you do the same.
