Gifts from God

This blog is horrible and wonderful at the same time. I read if from Angie Weldon's' blog and don't' know if I am glad I did or if I shouldn't have. Brett would say I shouldn't have, lol. This is extremely hard for any mother to read...and if you are about to have a baby, uh huh...(Lara) please don't' read the link to the blog!! Seriously.

Click on the title of this blog post....((gifts from God)) to go to the site....I can't seem to make a link otherwise....ahhh...annoying. IF that doesn't work....which it seems to not be....go here...http://www.inthiswonderfullife.com/search/label/Cohen%27s%20Story

I cried and cried while I read this blog this morning....as I was feeding Bryer his oatmeal and he was just staring at me crying.

I wept for the baby who had to endure pain/difficulties for 12 days....mostly I wept for the mother who only got to hold her baby twice. Once when he was born, and once when he was going to heaven. For the unimaginable pain to know that you can do nothing for your baby....It seems so unfair for a mother to have to go through this....

It made me look at my children differently today. To smile at them and love them EVEN MORE!! To realize I am LUCKY to get up at 5:45am and see my son smiling, safe and healthy, here with me. (instead of saying..."why Bryer...why 5:45am??? but to be thankful he is here to get up at 5:45am...)
That I am LUCKY to have a 3 year old daughter who never stops asking questions....that I get to hear her voice every day...every second for that matter, lol.

Brett doesn't like to hear sad stories and thinks I am morbid to read them....I can't help myself. It's too sad not to read...and it makes me appreciate what I have even more!!!

I love my babies so much and I love being a mother! I am so blessed to have perfectly healthy children! Praise God!
