Perspective...

A few weeks ago I heard about this family who had just moved to this area...the wife was battling breast cancer and pregnant...this is a link their blog and the tearful, brave story of their life...it isn't a happy ending, but it is a testament to survival, love and strength. I have followed it and continue to pray for them and draw strength from them....today the husband talks about another military family suffering loss while still grieving his wife's death. Pretty remarkable...Gives me perspective when I have had a hard day and need that perspective...

The Friedmans are good friends of friends currently stationed at Aviano. It's a tragedy of the highest order, isn't it?! I thank God that I only had ridiculous things to complain about today (a clogged toilet, taking the wrong exit on the freeway). Life is precious and it can change in an instant. I was going to blog about them, too, encouraging everyone to be thankful today because we're not guaranteed tomorrow.

Both the stories of the friedman's and sullivans break my hearts...did you read the rest of the sullivan blog? His wife also died after giving birth after fighting cancer thru her pregnancy...so very sad all around...and yes, it helps us know we are so lucky with each day and even each clogged toilet!
