When you think life is more than you can bare all you have to do is look outside of your bubble to see someone who is struggling more than you. The house we bought is in the middle of a "family neighborhood". The grandma lives next door and her son and her daughter live on each side of me. My house was the other daughters house. They moved a few miles down the road. Back to my point. The people we bought our house from lost their 13 year old daughter yesterday. She had a granmale(sp?) seizure in her sleep and passed away.
It is hard to say that you are thankful for the trials we are given but at this moment I am so thankful. My mom will recover. Even if she is different or has impairments we will have her. I cannot imagine the pain of loosing a child.
We have to live our lives like there is no tomorrow. Treat people like you may never see them again. When we didn't know if mom was going to make it I had so many regrets and so much guilt. That is obviously a normal reaction but if I had treated her with all the love and respect that I feel for her I would of had no reason for those feelings.
I am so thankful for my testimony of the gospel and the beautiful plan we have been given to have eternal families. What a comfort it gives to us to know that we will see our loved ones again. That death is only a temporary moment in our lives.
Give your parents a hug. Tell your spouse you love them. Love the dirty handprints on your walls . They won't last forever. I love you all so much.
