I've decided to finally join the "cool Mom" world and create a blog! There's so much that goes on in my day, I just want to share it with others. I look forward to sharing my thoughts, beliefs and my hilarious stories that are provided by my two precious boys.
It's 2:45 am and I cannot sleep, this is very unusual for me. Ethan has been up for about an hour and a half and just went back to sleep and now...I'm wide awake!
My mind is racing and I can't figure out what exactly I'm thinking about. On Monday morning, a sweet, young mother from Boerne passed away from brain cancer. I knew her but we weren't very close and I regret not getting to know her better. She has two young girls, a little older than Benjamyn and Ethan. She had just turned 31 and was an inspiration to so, so many people in the community and out of the area as well. I can't stop thinking about her husband and her little girls. I can't stop thinking about the fact that what she went through can happen to anyone, even to me.
Cara has taught me (although she never knew it) how to be a better Mommy over the past year and how to STOP and enjoy time with my boys. I've felt restless since I found out that she passed away yesterday. I just want to sit on the living room floor with Benjamyn and Ethan and play with cars and balls and toys ALL DAY LONG!
Her trial and her death have inspired me to give up my self, to be available and ready to help others and to enjoy time with my precious family and friends. I pray that I never forget the impact that she had on my life.
Another thing racing through my head is the bittersweet event that will take place next Tuesday. My little Ethan turns ONE! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like just a month ago I was traveling back and forth to the NICU everyday to see him. He decided he wanted to stay in the hospital longer than me after he was born. He fought double pneumonia for a week after his birth and it was heartbreaking to come home without him. I can't believe that was almost a year ago! I'm so very thankful for him, his health and sweet little life. He's such a blessing!!
I look forward to blogging and my prayer is that you see the faithfulness of God in my words and in my daily life as I share it with you!
Any advice from experienced Mommy bloggers is greatly appreciated as well!!
Good night...or good morning!!!!
