We are so blessed

I generally do not post without pictures but am feeling very inspired. I recently read the blog of a young mother who has 4 young boys the youngest just born in October. The baby became ill at 8 weeks old and after weeks in the hospital just passed away a few days ago. Reading this mothers blog made me realize just how blessed I am to have a beautiful healthy family. She has amazing courage and faith to make it through this trial in her life knowing that she will one day be with her sweet little boy again. Even though her heart is aching for him. We are all given are own challenges in life but Heavenly Father has a plan for us. He is there to hold us up when we feel as though we cannot even stand. I am so thankful to be a daughter of God and know that I will be with all my family in Heaven. I am blessed to be able to have the Faith and testimony to know of these things. After reading this story I have been holding my kids just a little bit closer and enjoying every minute of their innocence (well maybe not every) but really trying to enjoy my every precious moment with them.

Thanks for sharing that Kalia. I think we all need to take a minute now and again to remember how blessed we are. Dave and Ya-ping have a new 4lb. 12 oz. baby boy. All is well.
