So blessed...

As my own beautiful daughter celebrates her 19th birthday, I am sad to know that a little boy at Cole's school, Dylan Shaw, lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday.  He was only 9 years old.  He was diagnosed in March, and died four months later.  His neighborhood paid a beautiful and thoughtful tribute to his family by lining the streets and entrances with balloons and streamers this weekend.  Every single house.  I thank God every single day that I am blessed to be able to hear my kids voices one more time.  Every second we have with each other is a gift.  I love you all and thank God for my wonderful husband, my two kids by birth, and I thank him for blessing me with two more to love.  I am so grateful for my beautiful life, and so grateful to know that it doesn't end when our time on Earth is through...
