Prayers

While I am new to this "blog" world, I have quite a few blogs that I read regularly. Many of them center around grief in some way, usually around lost children. Of course, that sounds really sad...and it's not that they are centered around grief per se, but seems like a lot of them have lost a child at some point in their life. Some very recent, some years ago. That might sound strange to some, but to me, it's a part of who I am, too. I am a mother to angels...and I long to see them every day. I hope to make them a part of this blog some day, too...to relive their story and to share them with my boys. I often wonder what life would be like had they lived...would I have 5 living children now or just 2? What would life be like? I can't imagine not having Landon, Austin and Aiden...but I also long for my angels, Devin and Elizabeth. Life is a crazy thing...and wonderful, exciting, painful, crazy thing.

One thing I do know is we can't take this life for granted. It is too short. I'm trying to remember that in all aspects of my life...and praying for all those mom's and dad's out there who are hurting. I know the hurt, the pain, the questions, the longing...I've lived it for the past almost 5 years (wow)...but I also know it gets easier. You never forget...but it gets easier. Believe it.
