This has been a sad week. A young mom in my Mom's Group had a child pass away a few days ago. M.C. was 2 years old. She had gone to bed with a fever and never woke up. How devastating for her parents. Her rosary was tonight and her funeral is tomorrow. Ever since I found out on Tuesday I've been examining how much I take my children for granted. I've been thinking about how I spend more time on other things than with playing with them. This week Craig and I have been spending HOURS and HOURS cuddling with them, reading to them, rough housing with them and sleeping with them. Such shocking news change your view of reality. I don't question God's wisdom but I'm confused about how parents can deal with such a blow? It all comes down to faith and God's love. They have been in my thoughts and prayers. I don't know what to say or do but offer up prayers and sacrifices and hug and cuddle my own kids.
Today was our 10th wedding anniversary. Craig took the day off and we just spent time with the kids, playing and soaking in all their energy (that's a lot of energy). Energy that I used to "tolerate" is now reassuring and welcome. When you get a chance please offer up a prayer for M.C's parents. Although she's in heaven now, her parents and baby brother miss her terribly.
OUR LADY OF SORROWS, pray for us.

How heart-breaking. Thank you for the reminder that life is short and uncertain. "Eat dessert first," my beloved says.
How devestating! Just coming off a round of fevers in my family...I'm just struck with how shocking the death is.
Our prayers are with the family.
I used to live on the same street as M.C. & M & S....I moved back in Sept, but still keep in touch with old neighbors. My heart aches so bad for this loving couple. They were the sweetest, most caring people I had met in a long time. I think of them everyday...I will never forget M.C.... Such a beautiful girl.
