So grateful to have my girls!!

Last week I had a great gratitude moment. Last week Derek and I were laying in bed watching t.v and Derek was just flipping through the channels and he happened to stop on Oprah and we watched it for a minute. There was a mother on who was on a mission to stop texting while driving. She then shared her story of how her little 7 year old girl was riding her bike home from school when she was hit by someone who was texting that killed her. She shared her experiece of how aweful the sight was to see her daughters body laying there in the street and then she talked about the last night she had with her in the hospital. The doctors had told her that her daughter wouldn't make it through the night so she told how special that night was between her and her daughter. She said that she rocked her all night and sang to her and just memorized her face. Of course by the end I was just sobbing since of course it was easy for me to relate to the story with my two little girls about the same age. So I hope out of bed and went down to my daughters room and layed in bed with them and thought so much about my blessing and how much these two little angels meant to me. It was a special night and a special experince I had. I left with a new challenge that even though the days are so crazy and filled with what seems to be a million things to take care of. I am going to take time every day to spend one on one with those little girls I am so grateful to have with me.
