perspective

This week has given me perspective. I think that's a big word for "stop feeling sorry for yourself." Some dear friends of Jeff and Nikki's lost their baby girl this week. She was only one month old, got sick and passed away within a couple days. I won't go into details on here because I want to protect their privacy, but it's been on my mind, and really this is just an extension of my thoughts. This is a parents absolute worst nightmare and something that gives me chills and makes me cry every time I think of it. I pray that they can rely on their faith and family to get through this time. She truly is in a better place now, even though I can't help but think about how she should still be with them. Honestly, things like this make me question so many things... Faith, God, my own life, Doctors, everything. I guess there are no answers, just time to heal. This little girl I never met will always be in my heart.

Erika- I have not viewed your blog in quite some time but I have to say, I spent a great deal of time on it this morning & wanted to say what a phenomenal mom you are! You have 2 girls, a husband, 1 dog, a house, family, friends, a job, & still manage to look beautiful as can be & share your compassion with those that need it most! You are an amazing person Erika, thanks for being you!

I was just reading what Nikki wrote here, and I got tears in my eyes. I whole heartedly agree with her, and could not have said it better myself.
Love you much,
Mom

I definitely agree with Nikki and Vicki! Words can't describe how much love you give whole-heartedly on a daily basis to everyone.
Love you!
