Hold your kids a little closer

As i am sitting here, i am covered in tears. I just got done reading a story of a little 8 week old baby who fought for his life and now has returned to our Heavenly Father.
The hardships that he and his parents went through.... I can't imagine. He was diagnosed with RSV and Pertussis at his 8 week appt. My heart goes out to that mother as i sit here 3 weeks before i deliver my baby boy. I can't imagine losing my child and to see him suffer so badly. They named him Gavin after the moms brother that had passed before him. This family has gone through a lot.

Go take a look at it.... And hold your kids a little closer tonight. I know i will.

That is sooo sad :(. I've been coming across so many blogs like that with parents who have lost their babies or whose babies have serious medical conditions. Just having healthy kids is such a blessing...that none of us should ever take for granted.

this is just so sad. When i was nearing the end of my pregnancy with Ady I would read all sorts of blogs and I for sure though Ady was destined to not make it. I had to stop. I come across those blogs now and I just wanna hold my kids a bit tighter and not worry about the small things!! having a healthy child is a miracle. Cant wait to see pics of the new baby :)
