I feel like lately have been hearing tragic stories about little babies passing away. This is something that truly saddens me, and although I know it is not the same as being the parent of that child, in some respects, I feel as a mother I can feel the family's heart ache. I am going to share a couple of stories I have recently come across and I hope you will all take a minute to read them and realize how fortunate you are when everyone in your family is happy and healthy. We can take such big things for granted sometimes and not realize how lucky we really are. The first story I am posting a link to is asking for donations to help a family bury their 7-day old child. This family is unaware that this fund has been setup, and I think it would be humbling to know that I helped spread the word of this fund and helped the family get some support.

There are so many tragic stories of children being inflicted with compromising health conditions. It is important we live each day to the fullest, appreciate what we have, and love with every ounce of our being. There are people around us all the time that are less fortunate than we, and the least we can do is offer them our love and support. I hope everyone can reflect on the more important things in life and potentially make a point to give to others that are struggling.
