One of my very dear friend's father passed away today. One minute he was driving his tractor in his field, the next he was gone. They think he suffered a massive heart attack. Of course, I was deeply saddened to hear this news and my heart aches for my friend and her family. It reminded me again how precious and fragile life truly is and how important it is for us to always be the very best people we can be. It is so easy to get caught up in the miniscule problems of life and forget that what really matters is who we love and how we show it. My own dad stopped by tonight for a minute and I hugged him extra tight and told him how much I loved him. I need to do that more often.
Garrett was in such a happy mood tonight and rolled all over the floor, laughing and cooing. Every time I looked at him he would just giggle and flap his little arms in the air. His smile always warms me to the deepest part of my heart, but tonight it was even more special. It's amazing to me that bundled up inside that little body is a whole person, full of potential and life. I was reminded again that the good Lord giveth and taketh away. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have that families are eternal and that this life is just a small part of a much bigger plan our Heavenly Father has for us. All we have to do is the very best we can, and He will one day bless us with more than we can possibly imagine.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's dad. You are right, life is a here today, gone tomorrow kind of a thing. We should count our blessings each day and thank the Lord for giving us one more day here on earth to spend with our families.
I love you Nat, you are a special spirit that the Lord sent here to teach us all how to love one another and I'm glad you ended up being part of our family.
I loved your comments. They are how I feel, but haven't had the words to express. Garrett's smile and laugh bring me so much joy and happiness. Thanks so much for sharing him with us all.
Oh that is so sad. It really could happen to anyone at any time. I used to pray every night that no one in my family would die until they were at least 85. I have since realized that is no way to live and instead I always thank Him that I got another day and more memories with all of them. Love ya Nat!
i said i am not usually one to cry in my last post, but mine heck nat, i'll have to stop reading your posts at work
