Today was an incredibly sad, but thoughtful day. I went to the funeral of a friend's son and it was such a sad event. Noah was a 4 year-old cutie pie with a huge smile and the descriptions of him reminded me so much of Jacob. They shared a lot of pictures of him and there were so many similarities of our families.
It was such a reminder to embrace every day and cherish every moment. Little Noah was taken away in an instant - a freak accident - and he is gone. His poor family now needs to figure out how to move on.
I am so, so grateful for my family - at times I get overwhelmed and tired and today was such a reminder that no matter how hectic our lives get - we are so blessed to have each other. I gave all of the kiddos extra tight hugs tonight - at the funeral, Noah's father told me to hug my kids extra tight, so I did. The only good that can come out of this situation is for people to remember how every day is a gift - tomorrow is never guaranteed and loving and living well is how we should approach each day. I hope to take this inspiration forward - of course we know it - but it really hit home today.
I'll post a normal update soon - just wanted to tell everyone that follows Taylor's blog that all is well and today more than ever, I am so thankful.
