I want to share this... I think it's a lesson we can all take something from.

It's such a beautiful story. Helps to remind you life is SHORT. We are never, ever promised tomorrow. You need to love the people around you every single day. Tell the people you care about exactly what they mean to you. "If tomorrow never comes" you will know that you did what you should've done. Live your life with no regrets.
Every single day I wake up feeling like the most blessed girl on the planet. Do you have any idea how that feels, how incredibly amazing that truly feels? I hope that you do. I hope that you get to feel that way too. My husband makes sure to tell me every day, EVERY SINGLE DAY, how much I mean to him, how much he loves me, how much he doesn't know what he did or would do without me in his life. I know I talk about him a lot and tend to "brag" but I really can't help it. He is wonderful. He's everything I ever wanted & needed, he literally completes my heart & my life. I know that for some people reading this, all of that sounds "too good to be true" and it breaks my heart that not near enough people get to experience and have the kind of love that we share. Before I was with him, I never knew it was actually possible. I didn't know you could actually get everything you wanted in one person. I always figured I was going to have to "settle" on certain things, but that's not the case. He walked into my life when I least expected it, and that's how they say it happens! Every day I am amazed at the person, husband, father that he is. He works so incredibly hard for this family, yet always finds so much time to spend with us. And he WANTS to! That's the best part. I never have to "convince" him to do it, or even ASK. He just does. That's the greatest feeling ever. To know that your husband looks forward to coming home to you, to spending time with you & his child. He could be spending his time/days off with friends or playing xbox or anything else that doesn't involve us, but he doesn't. Sure he does do those things on occasion, but it's only if I have something going on already or if G is sleeping etc. Any chance he gets, he's with us. He's such an incredible person. I have often said how "lucky" I feel to have the life that I do. Someone once told me that it has nothing to do with luck, it has to do with choices. That couldn't be more true! I just feel so blessed. Blessed beyond measure to be my husband's wife & my daughter's mommy.
I feel like my life is so close to perfect right now, I'm almost afraid to have typed those words! lol Just everything is going sooooooo great. Without going into detail, I just always think 'God is sooo good all the time. All the time God is good!' He really is! Just when things start to go in a negative direction, they turn immediately around when you put your faith in Him. We are blessed. Sometimes I'm not sure how we're going to be able to do this or that, or pay for this or that, but it always, always, always works out. I know I have mentioned before that we are on a kind of tight budget now that I'm not working. We have plenty of money to pay our bills, but we usually don't have a whole lot left over at the end of the month. But yet, when things come up, either that we just want to do, or that we HAVE to do, somehow we always seem to have enough! I'm just constantly reminded that God is on our side. He's always there for us, even when we think we don't need him. He always pulls us through!! My faith in God has gotten me through a lot of things in my life. Even when we don't understand right away, there's always a reason for everything! I am definitely enjoying life as a whole right now. It is wonderful! My heart is filled with so much love and so much peace. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to wake up every single day with a smile on your face and just *knowing* it's gonna be a great day, no matter what!
I am looking forward to so many things in our future, both near and far. That doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the here & now. I am!! But, I am also soooo excited to see what our future holds! Where will we go? What will we see? What will we do? I can't wait. I have the best husband, daughter, friends & family that anyone could ask for. What better group to have my back through everything I do? How could I not be happy & excited about EVERYTHING that happens?!? :)
Love
