The air we breath..

Yesterday was a really difficult day. After a great week in Peoria we got a phone call from my sister letting us know that a friend of ours that had been battling an illness was not doing well at all. The doctors said her body was completely shutting down. When we arrived at the hospital it was very difficult. In the waiting room was family and her kids. When we got back to see our friend in the ISU, it was so hard. As i stood back and just watched her on the ventilator it really made me think a lot, it made me think how I take the little things in my life for granted. After we prayed and hung out in her room for a while we went back to the waiting area. As I sat there Dave and I were reminiscing with the kids about there favorite memories with their mom and as a family. All day my heart was so heavy. It really made me stop and just thank God for everything, my family, my health the air we breath. I really want to cherish every second with my family and not get caught up with the busyness of this life and the things that aren't important at all.  I want to do everything I can to be the wife, mom and friend that God has called me to be.  The air we breath is really such a gift from God and I'm so grateful for that gift!

  My heart goes out to the Wilton's and prayers too. I'm so proud of her family and how they've pulled together and have been strong through this difficult time.
