Heavy heart

I'm a little sad today. Altough I haven't met the McClanehans (The Macs on my left side bar), I've gotten to know about them through blogging, and today woud have been their daughter Cora's first birthday. I feel sad for her parents. I know they will be visiting her gravesite and releasing balloons. I just learned this morning of another family http://www.thegledhillfamily.blogspot.com/ ,here in Utah that lost their baby girl this week, before her first birthday as well.

Nathan came and and slept in our bed sometime through the night. It was one thing I was 'never' going to do as a parent and I don't sleep well when one of the kids is in our bed (especially Andrew - he kicks more). But I was grateful to snuggle with him in my arms. He is getting bigger and I know he'll quit coming eventually. So for now, I don't mind that I get to hug him extra long and relish that he still wants to be held.

I got to kiss my husband and kids goodbye when I dropped them all off to the places they had to go this morning, for that, I am grateful.
