There is this amazing family out in the blog world that I accidentally came across a few weeks ago. This family recently lost their youngest baby to a tragic accident and she is telling her story on here. I check in everyday just to see her inspirational words. I probably shouldn't keep looking at it while I'm at work because without fail I cry every time I even open it up. She is such an amazing women. Seeing her emotions as she deals with this is eye opening. I cant help but sit back and realize what a great life I have. How lucky I am to have the things and people I do in my life.
I was 9 years old when my best friend/sister died. I can still feel the same pain I did the first time I found out. Since she died its rare that a day goes by that I don't think of her however over this past year she has been in my mind even more. I am at the age now that she was when she got in a car accident and lost her life. I think to myself if today was my last day would I have done the things I want to on this earth? Will my family and esp my husband know how much I truly love them? Those frustrated words I used with Ryan last night could be the last words he ever hears- Is that how I want to leave him?
Now I'm not saying ill be leaving anytime soon- believe me- I have so much more to learn and do before its my turn but I don't know when that will be. This blog that this wonderful family is doing keeps me so focused on how precious life is. I see how amazing these little children that come from God are. Every time one of my nieces or nephews has been born I cant help but have one of my first thoughts be that my sister was the last one to hold them before she gave them to us. I feel so close to her at those times. Some day when I am privileged enough to have my own children I don't know what I'm going to do when I get to hold my baby for the first time. I cant help but cry already thinking how special that is going to be.
I hope you can all check out this blog and see how life changing it is!

Hi, we are friends of Ben and Jennie Taylor here in Ft Rucker. I was reading the comments about their baby and thought that I might know you guys from somewhere. Turns out we dont, but after reading this post, I read the families blog that lost her little girl. You are right that you cant read one without getting emotional. Anyway, my wife and I wanted to say thanks for that post. It puts life into perspective.
Hey, thanks for your nice comments on my blog. Of course I remember your family, too. You were all so pretty and talented. It's hard to believe everyone is all grown up now. Your blog is very cute!
Kendra I had no idea about your sister. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You've been through a great deal in your life and the refiner's fire has given you a beautiful soul. Thank you for being an inspiration to me!
