Cherish your children

Last week my friend Rachelle talked about an afternoon with her kids on the balcony. She had a list of stuff to do but chose her kids first. She has a post on her blog about the sweet moments they shared and reminded us all of what is important. I thought it was sweet and agreed with her. Today I was reminded in a much worse way of how precious time is, especially with our children. My cousin’s little 5 yr. old boy was diagnosed on Friday with Leukemia and died today on Easter. He was a happy, healthy little boy with no forewarning of this disease. When I found out, I held Isabel and cried. I have toys strung all over the family room, dishes in the sink, and piles of laundry. I don’t care. I can’t stop looking at Isabel. My heart goes out to my cousin. I’m grateful for our savior and pray he offers his comfort at this time. I hope we all cherish the moments we have. To the Pritts and Walker Families- our thoughts are with you.
