precious…

one of my dearest friends from high school recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, ella, who was diagnosed with cornelia de lange syndrome…this came after her third child, a sweet baby boy named carson, passed away of sids in september 2008.

i have been following ella’s blog which is written by her dad to keep everyone informed of her progress. i find myself checking each day to see what progress she has made…

as i have read his entries, i have found my thought process change. my own children, of course, have always been dear to me, but recently i find myself cuddling them more, talking with them more, listening more, reading more stories to them…looking at them i see that i have a very limited window of time.

i heard a saying once that now hits me to the very core of my being…

tomorrow is promised to no one…

could there be anything in this life more precious?
