Today I am feeling especially grateful for my family.  I have been blessed with two beautiful, amazing children and I get to see their smiling faces look up at me every day.  I hope they not only look up at me, I hope I will be worthy enough for them to look up to me...

 Life is so precious.  We never know how long we have in this life.  Yesterday my sister's tiny baby boy passed away.  I can't imagine the heart ache and devastation she must be feeling.  As a mother I can not imagine loosing a child...

 For every occasion they may drive me crazy, there are a thousand times they melt my heart.

 In good times and sad times, my children are my life.  They are my reasons to live.

...and they never stop finding new ways to make me smile.

To the mothers out there who believe in the power of prayer, please say a  pray for my sister.
