Last night as I was trying to fall asleep after a very long day, I got a text message from my sister. Her nephew had lost his battle with cancer. Instantly my heart broke into a thousand pieces. I may have not known him beyond my sister but he touched my life. As her sister, I cried for her. I wanted to be there to let her know I cared. I know the healing process if going to be difficult. As a parent, I can't imagine anything worse. I can't imagine having to say good-bye to your child. The pain they have gone through and the pain that is to come. The battle they have fought for the last five and half years is now over. I don't know how you put the pieces of your life back together. His little sister is only a few months older than my oldest, I can't imagine having to explain that to her. As a parent, I know there are difficult moments and sometimes there are things that are hard to explain to your kids, but that shouldn't be one of them.
Today, I hold my kids a little closer. I have been blessed beyond words with two amazing girls. They have been a gift from above. A gift I will cherish every day of my life.
