After the month we have had I have come to realize even more how blesses we are. As I sat in the ER with Big Man, my heart broke. So many kids were there. The kid sharing the room with us came in on an ambulance because he had some seizures. I just kissed Big Man and Little Mama (she rode down with me so she could watch him). Then as we waited more for the bed in the Special Care Unit to open up, they had to move us because a full arrest was on the way. That just stopped me in my tracks. Here I was holding my baby boy while there was a mama and daddy panicking because they could possibly be losing theirs. I just held him tight and prayed.
Why is that it takes things like this for us to remind ourselves just how precious and fragile life is. So often we take things for granted and forget how quickly life can change. One minute you are planning your day and the next minute you're driving to Children's.
Here lately we have been so busy with life and activities that we haven't been able to spend quality time together. I want more nights like Friday night where we sit and watch tv, order in and play games. No agenda - no set plans - just spending time with each other. I want to slow down and take in every precious moment I have with my family, Hubs and the kids because in an instant everything can change.

Thank you for this post. I am reminded to hug my four and hold them close. Everyone needs to read this every once in a while.
