Today is one of those days where I realize just how lucky I am. I know I said it yesterday, that life was good - and it is - but really kinda hit home today. Just not in the way I would have liked.
Depressing stuff going on here. I found out this morning that a friend of mines 2 year old son passed away Saturday night. He died of pneumonia. Very sad. Since he was born he struggled with health issues, and at one point was very close to death. However he overcame much, and in recent times things were looking much, much better. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child. I have two young boys of my own (6 & 3) and have no idea how I could ever deal with anything like that.
Also good friends of ours, have been trying to conceive for a few years, and finally decided to put out the money on artificial insemination & hormones and that jazz... lots of money later - and found out Friday it did not work
.
And to boot a mother (someone I don't know) here in our city accidentley backed over her 3 year daughter at a strip mall. She thought she was in the car. I know we can all blame the mother for this, but sometimes split second shit happens, and you make a huge mistake. Unfortunately the little girl didn't make it. And now the mother has to live with it for the rest of her life.
Sad faces all around.
What a depressing blog. All this just reminds me of my own kids and family, and how truly blessed I am really am.
Need happier thoughts.....
