I want to share something that happened today that really made me think. A best friend of mine from High School passed away last evening. She was 36 years old and died one day after giving birth to her third child. Last August she delivered full-term twins that were stillborn, and has two girls at home. As I muttle through the why's and how's I look at my children and awe that I get to touch them, kiss them, be a mommy to them, wink at them,play games with them,watch movies with them, give them ice cream and candy, wash their hands and faces at night, and kiss them on the forhead knowing I will sbe with them when they wake up. My dear friend is not here anymore for those little souls. A newborn will never know the soft touch of her mother's hand. So if you do one thing today, please remember
to be a Humble Parent.
Life is precious!

Dang. Things like that really put things into perspective. I'm so sorry you lost your friend.
Amen to your words. That truly breaks my heart.
My heart goes out to their family and those sweet little children that will miss their mom so much.
You know, when you sent that email to me earlier this week, I thought you meant your friend's newborn passed away! I can't even imagine this, Cheryl..... I'm truly sorry for such a humbling and devastating loss.
