I was just scrolling through Facebook, wasting time, and I somehow ended up looking at the page of a young mother from the area who died earlier this year from cancer. I was looking through her pictures and reading comments that people had made. From all the comments I have read about her she was the kindest, most big-hearted person you could ever meet. Looking at the pictures of her with her husband and young daughter brought tears to my eyes. It seems so unfair that such a wonderful person would be taken from her family.
I think looking at her page was really what I needed today. Life is so fragile and none of us know how much time we have here. I know that days like today don't happen all the time. I know my children will only be little for a short while. I know that I need to love and appreciate every moment I have with them. Seeing how much this woman was loved by everyone and how she was so giving and loving to everyone around her makes me want to be a better person. She makes me want to try harder to be less selfish and more selfless. Apparently, she had already reached perfection in this life. If that's the case than I am going to live a very long time. I have a long way to go and I know I need to try harder.
I love my children and the blessing they are in my life. Honestly, life was easier without children but the joy they bring to my heart makes every difficult moment worth it. I wouldn't trade my kids for anything and I will do anything and everything I can for them. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed me with Atreyu and Cambria and made me a mother. There is no greater calling and I pray that I will do the absolute best I can to fill that calling.
