Makes you thankful

Happy Tuesday! So there comes times in my life that reality hits you in the face and makes you thankful for what you have. I have a beautiful family who I thank God every day! My son is beyond wonderful and I don't know what I did to deserve such an awesome child. He makes me a better person every day and makes me work harder for everything I have.  I came across another amazing woman/mother through a blog I look at, Mama Laughlin. I was at work and needed a mental break and decided to look at it. Of course I sat there at my desk, hiding my face crying as I read this blog and looking at the sweet pictures of her son Grayson who has leukemia at the tender age of 5. She tells the story about how she asked Grayson one night laying in bed how he felt during a treatment  for his chemo and she started crying and just holding him, and he looks at her and says, "Mommy don't worry, nothing is going to happen to me."  As I am reading this I am sobbing at work thinking I can not imagine going through what she has gone through and still going through. Moments like that puts everything into reality and slaps you in the face like stop complaining and enjoy every moment you have with you healthy child stupid! I always make sure I give Gavin tons and tons of kisses every day and tell him how much I love him even though he has NO idea what I am saying to him. He will one day though. Ironically this wonderful woman lives around me and wish I could just hug her and help out in any way that I can. But I know that any prayers mean the world to anyone during a hard time like they are going through. I hope you take a second to read this wonderful blog and count your many blessings that you have in your life and please keep this amazing little boy Grayson in your prayers.

 Lots of love,

G Mama
