Tragic

I recently found a page( tragic )that a friend had "liked" on Facebook and out of my own curiosity I decided to click on it.  It was by far one of the saddest, most heart-wrenching, stories I have ever read.  I think about this family, this mom, this dad often.  When I am having a "take a deep breath" moment at my stay-at-home-mom gig I think to myself, "What this family wouldn't do to have things so differently right now."

I find myself checking-in everyday to see the updates in their lives, to read their raw emotion, to see pictures of their new baby girl, etc.  Everyday, I end up teary-eyed after reading and without hesitation I immediately ask B.K., "How?" "How do they go to sleep, eat, get out of bed, shower, LIVE?" HOW?!?!?!?!

And why do I keep reading something so painfully sad? 

I guess I am inspired, fascinated, and moved to my core with their most sincere love for God.  In a time of what I would imagine would be the most intense emotional and physical pain, this mom and dad are able to proclaim their love for God and have faith in his path for their lives and their daughter's short life on Earth. 

Stumbling upon this page has made me ask myself, Am I living my life today with a sincere love for God? 

Prayers and healing for this family.
