Life is to short....

I am writing this post tonight to reflect on another blog that I came across about a week ago. I came across a blog called "Baby Cate". I began to read the blog and could not stop reading, an hour and half later I was crying and did not want to stop reading the blog as i wanted to know what this precious baby was going through. I am not a very big spiritual person but after reading this blog I began to think about how some people are strong and some are not in these types of situations. Baby Cate was 7 months old and born with a heart condition. She was the third child to her parents. They ended up having to do open heart surgery on her, the surgery was supposed to be fairly short with a very small risk factor. After a very long surgery and fighting for her life Baby Cate passed away at a very short 7 months of her little life.

The most amazing part of this blog was the strength that her parents had. The strength to share there story for others. They write the blog with such a strong spiritual belief, that things happen for a reason and that baby Cate will be better off if she goes on to another life. They write through out the whole process in extreme detail.

After reading this blog I began to think about my life, my husband, my little girl and my family. I felt that I did not have the same strength that they had. I wondered why I did not have this strength and felt that I would never be able to handle a situation like that. It made me wonder why I would not feel that my loved ones were in a better place like they thought. How they embraced the loss of there baby. I commend them for there strength and love they have for her and each other.

I wanted to share this as it made me realize to not let life pass me by, because it really is to short. To short to let other things in life bring me down or stop me from doing things in that I want in life. Sometimes I take things for granted as it will always be there, but since we never know when our last day may be we should take each day and live it to its fullest. I love my husband, my little girl and my family so much that I could not imagine life without them. I want to make a pact with myself to understand how to believe and be more spiritual. I have been very touched by this blog and will never forget how I need to live my life. I will not push aside the wants of my beautiful little girl as there may not be a tomorrow. I will enjoy every smile, laugh and need that she may have.

I would recommend reading this blog as it is so well written that I am sure it will touch you in the same way it has touched my heart. I Love you all and thanks to all that are here for me and truly understand me.

I will live by my favorite message "Live, Laugh, and Love always"

To my precious little girl, my husband, and my family I love and appreciate you more than anything in this world, thank you for being here for me when I need you the most.
