Cherish Today

It's late and although I complain a lot about the petty small things in my life I am quite aware this evening that I really have nothing to complain about.  My life is normal, I have the ups and downs like any married adult would have.  My job can suck sometimes and even though I bought my car new it makes me frustrated occasionally.  The bills pile up and household chores need to be done even if I am tired.  I get depressed sometimes just because and I procrastinate a little too much......... My husband, who adores me can still make me crazy but my life is good......I am in good health and my family is all well..... tonight again it was proven to me that things could always be worse.

    A friend of mine is suffering the worst loss anyone could, she is mourning the loss of her child.  No parent should ever have to feel that sadness.  I can't imagine what she is going through, I can only be empathetic to her situation.  

    There are people out there struggling and doing everything in their power to have a child, these people want nothing more than to love a baby and raise them with values and spend those cherished moments in life with them.  I know women who have carried a child for some time only to lose that child, sad.  I know women who have been through numerous miscarriages and still births.  I have friends that know the loss this woman is going through tonight, stirring up terrible emotions.   

    I can only hope that her family and friends will keep her close to them.  Through the grief may she find solace.  The time she shared with her little man will forever be in her heart.  His smile gracing her mornings, hearing his giggle through the days.  Her evenings spent knowing he is at peace and forever her angel.  

    Let us all remember to not forget to say I love you to the ones we love.  Don't wait until tomorrow to say hello to a friend.  Pick up the phone and talk to someone that you are missing.  

                           No one is promised a tomorrow.
