Grateful......

Is what I think when I see this picture :)

Yesterday was a day that I "thought" might come but still was blown away when it came. There are two other women that I share a bond like no other. I met these beautiful strong women when Isaiah was only 7 months old at an early intervention playgroup. The bond we share is that between the three of us we have 6 special needs kids (all wheelchair bound with other significant issues) and we all share a healthy daughters the same age. Which I am so grateful for b/c they had someone that got their situation. Just a unique bond that really helped me and my family through some tough times and also celebrated some great times.

Well one of the friends called yesterday with the sad news that her duaghter had earned her wings. I am so sadden and heartbroken for the family. Although I dont see these women anymore as we have gone our separate ways, they and their families are never far from my thoughts and in my heart.

This is something that also hits so close to home b.c frankly Avery appeared the sickest out of the crew and I sort of thought he would be the first to leave us. Ironically, when Janessa heard the news she was sad and also asked if Avery will be next b/c she thought he was sicker. So sad. This little girl was only a month younger than Isaiah so it also brings the reality that even that he is seemingly healthy, it could happen to him too.

I just ask that you all pray for the family that they find healing and comfort for their broken hearts. We will miss you sweetheart.
