I would never have wished for all the tragedy I have felt with my firstborn child since he first got ill at age 4 but then I would never have had the same appreciation for life as I do.
We all take things for granted. We never realize how quickly we can lose what we love the most.
3 weeks ago Josh and I were entertaining our friends in our new home - having an absolutely glorious weekend. The next day Ryan was fighting for his life and everything changed on a dime. I still can't believe how fast that happened and how I only thought of one thing - living for another day.
It has been another reminder for me of the gift I've been entrusted with.
