Today I am so thankful for the little things in life. Little things as in : my children are healthy and safely tucked in their beds sleeping soundly, the messes they make because it means that I have children who are able to make the mess, spending time with each of them individually, seeing how and hearing how their little minds work, the little nicknames we have for each of them, their personalities, the random hugs and kisses I get, the blessings that they really are that I sometimes take for granted. Each moment with them is precious.
This morning I was sitting in traffic and watched an ambulance and firetruck zip past me with their sirens blaring only to find out a little while later that they were going to the call of a head on collision involving acquaintances I know from the ballpark. Children were involved that my children know from school. One of the children was airlifted to Children's Hospital and has been undergoing tests and scans to see what kind of trauma his body went through. Last I heard, his 1st and 3rd vertebra was fractured. This child is the same age as one of my sons. I can't even begin to imagine what his parents are going through tonight. I know they must be scared and worried but also thankful that he is alive.
It's the little things sometimes that make you really stop and think. As someone said today, what is happening with the "C" family today is the reason we should hug and kiss and tell our kids we love them every chance we can!
Blessings......that what my babies are!!
Please lift up the "C" family and their little boy, Seth, as they wait to hear if he will have to have surgery and then have to go through the long haul of recovery.
Every moment is a gift!
